University of Sussex Undergraduate Summer School on Climate Justice
The University of Sussex Undergraduate Summer School is one of the oldest Summer School programs in the UK, running for over 20 years. It is a 3- or 6-week academic program offering credit-bearing modules in July/August each year.
This year, the School of Global Studies is running a module on Climate Justice from June 30 – July 18. Students on the module will explore questions of extractivism, climate responsibility, finance and funding, ecosystem uncertainty and activism through a series of lectures, case studies, seminars and workshops. They will learn about the colonial roots of contemporary environmental justice conflicts and the range of responses proposed to the climate crisis, while working in groups to discuss, design and propose alternatives. Teaching will be conducted both inside and outside of the classroom, with workshops taking place in the landscape of the Brighton & Lewes Downs Biosphere Reserve and South Downs National Park.
Students will be studying in the International Development department and Sussex has been ranked 1st in the world for Development Studies for 8 year running.
