Dirt Line — APA2011.01

Spring 2023
Instructor: Carly Rudzinski
Credits: 4
Soil reveals stories about climate, communities and time.  Dirt as a material has been used in forms of communication, from drawing, building, ceremony, to boundary lines. As ancient geological formations, over time, break down, these structures are incorporated into soil, and in our current climate we are witnessing vast changes in soil health. This course will explore

Disasters, Poverty, and Inequality — PEC4220.01

Spring 2025
Instructor: Carly Rudzinski
Credits: 2
A disaster is considered 'an occurrence that causes great harm,' but how is this 'harm' distributed among people? This research seminar explores this question by studying how the effects of disasters are unequally distributed within a population based on conditions of poverty and inequality, and how disasters, in turn, exacerbate these disparities. This seminar focuses on
