Description

National attention on the Flint Water Crisis has waned. However, the crisis remains salient to citizens and their families who must contend with sustained negative outcomes for the foreseeable future. The crisis also remains relevant to those committed to environmental justice. This course aims to facilitate an understanding of the Flint Water Crisis through a sociological lens. More specifically, we will explore contributing technical and infrastructural factors and the political, economic, cultural, and scientific contexts behind the water crisis. The course will also focus on ongoing community responses to the crisis. In addition to selected readings and primary/secondary data sources, this course will draw on the first-hand knowledge of Flint residents and other experts.
