Abstract

The collaborative, interdisciplinary intervention offered in this chapter foregrounds an environmental justice (EJ) approach to learning that emphasizes arts and humanities within STEM education. This chapter seeks to mitigate a gap in humanities and environmental education at our home institution via the development of an interdisciplinary, humanities-focused certificate. Certificate coursework is designed to focus on broadening the scope of EJ, emphasizing environmental harm as a social and historical construct, and paying attention to the lived experiences of marginalized, underrepresented, and underserved metro Detroit communities (MDCs).
