Graduate Teaching Assistant for Marin Skidmore, Amy Ando

Access to food and a healthy environment varies across rural/urban location, race, gender, and income in the U.S. Students in this course will analyze questions of "food justice" and "environmental justice" through the lens of economic theory. Students will learn important concepts in the scholarship of minority cultures, learn facts about how food security and experience of environmental quality varies among groups in the U.S., and learn how to use economic theory to understand those patterns and analyze policies to correct inequities.

Graduate Teaching Assistant for Peter Christensen

Applies economic tools to analyze environmental problems and public policy formation. We will study human behavior to understand why environmental problems occur and our choice of policy tools to address problems. We will explore and critique current environmental policies in the U.S. and globally in a rigorous and constructive manner and the role of private-sector agents in solving environmental problems. Through this course, you will build your capacity for critical thinking and problem-solving.
