Topic title
Unintended Consequences—A Podcast Centred Open Source Curriculum Featuring Heroes and Sheroes Working on Environmental Health and Environmental Justice Protections
Abstract
Environmental justice (EJ) and environmental health (EH) studies are poorly represented in postsecondary education. Various governmental and NGO organizations support the importance of EJ/EH education. Learning about EH and EJ lifts students’ knowledge across multiple subject areas—science, health, history, political science, sociology, business, technology and more.
“Unintended Consequences” is a post-secondary curriculum integrating podcasts, curated materials, and pedagogical resources into an Open Education Resource (OER) curriculum. Students learn through the voices of those with lived experiences. “Unintended Consequences” fills a gap for urgently needed accessible knowledge that is crucial for successful efforts to sustain a healthy world.
