Course will focus on alternative methods of environmental policy analysis including multi-criteria decision analysis, deliberative and participatory methods, and approaches that center equity and distributional impacts of policies and programs. This is not a lecture-based course. Students will be responsible for identifying readings and resources relevant to course topics and leading weekly class discussions.

Learning Objectives:

Gain an appreciation for heterodox schools of economics, including ecological economics, feminist economics, and institutional economics.
