Case Study: Environmental Justice and Public Policy

For the final paper, you must respond to the prompt below. Your 6-8 full-page paper should cite our assigned class material. In your final paper, I want to see how you can take all the information you have learned over this semester and apply it to the text As Long As Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, From Colonization to Standing Rock. You have acquired a wealth of knowledge and awareness regarding environmental justice. As such, you have a responsibility going forward to educate others who do not know as much as you have learned. This essay is an opportunity to display all you have learned. I am more than happy to look at drafts before the due date!

Question: For this paper, I want you to connect the novel As Long As Grass Grows to themes we have been exploring in this class. I would like your final essay to be a reflection paper on all you have learned in this class regarding environmental justice and public policy. Writing your reflective essay will help you pull together what you have learned. This essay of your reflections should draw on what we have covered in class, but it should be centered primarily on As Long As Grass Grows. Some guiding questions:

1) How does the book examine environmental justice from an Indigenous perspective?

2) What is meant by the terms environmental justice and environmental racism?

3) Who is affected by environmental racism and how are they affected?

4) What are the major themes you have seen in this class and how can you apply them to the book?
