Abstract
The following report details the methods and results of a survey surrounding student perceptions of environmental justice at Dalhousie University. This research was done by four students in SUST/ENVS 3502, a course at Dalhousie University. The purpose of the study is to evaluate if and to what extent upper-year students at Dalhousie University majoring in environmentally-focused subjects have discussed issues of environmental justice in their classes.The results included in this survey display a large interest in further discussions of environmental justice within the classroom among the Dalhousie student population. Using both a quantitative and qualitative approach, the results of this study may be used in the creation of future course curriculums among varying departments at Dalhousie University.
