Option #1: Critical Reflection Essay on Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice
Your essay should aim to strike a balance between your personal perspective, and the requirements of good academic practice and rigorous thinking.

Content may include assigned readings and additional resources (other readings, videos, postings and other forms of digital content), class discussions, presentations of guest speakers, your relevant experiences, etc. The length of each essay should be 3-4 pages (double spaced format, approx. 750-900 words not including notes, references, charts, images, etc.).
