Program Overview

Create solutions for a just and equitable world. Address our global environmental challenges through various ways of knowing, thinking and creating, by exploring policy and legal possibilities and by hands-on and professional practice.

By mixing critical thinking and creative artistic practice, you will understand how political, cultural, economic, and social systems and structures shape the global environmental crisis. Your degree will provide you with an understanding power dynamics and systemic oppression and equip you with the practical skills and knowledge to analyze, challenge, and respond to this crisis, and evaluate and propose analytical, innovative and sustainable responses.

Our program embraces an expansive view of environmental justice along with the arts and art-making. This highly interdisciplinary program merges courses in literature, policy, social science, environmental science, media production, performance, and art with hands-on learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom.

You will develop leadership, analytical, creative, collaborative and presentation skills – key to envisioning and realizing a better environmental future.

You will explore these critical issues:

  • Climate crisis
  • Indigenous sovereignty and decolonization
  • Environmental racism
  • Loss of biodiversity
  • Resource extraction
  • Food justice
  • Space/place and land ethics
  • Human-animal-plant relations
  • Gender identities and relationships

Your courses will include opportunities to engage with community artists, and experimental art forms. Those with little or no artistic training (e.g., no portfolio or background in the arts) are welcome.
