The field of energy justice is evolving rapidly. As we enter 2024, energy justice is a burgeoning field of real-world practices driving beyond equity and remedies into major domestic and international financial instruments as well as on-the-ground energy projects of significant magnitude. Drawing on Yale’s faculty and practitioners from the field, this energy justice seminar will give students detailed insight into the latest thinking and practice and help prepare students to work in this field. The seminar will be inherently interdisciplinary, drawing from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to law, sociology, anthropology, and economics. It will cover topics relating to energy justice in the areas of policy and regulation, community advocacy, legal implications, health implications, and private sector innovation.
The Seminar and Speaker series online lectures are open to the public!
Yale students can enroll during spring semester. The 1.5 credit course is designed for masters and PhD students at the Yale School of the Environment, but with permission of the instructors, is open to graduate and undergraduate students from Yale college and other schools.
