There are a ton of readings for the course, and it definitely covers environmental policy more than a history of the environmental conservation movement, which is what I was looking for. Despite this, the material was valuable and I learned a lot about the policy cycle and how certain important environmental policies were passed. We also talked a lot about how the current federal administration was and would continue to impact the formation of environmental policy.

Professor Suarez’s class is engaging and highly discussive. There are a lot of readings, but most of them are enjoyable and thoughtfully aligned with the lecture.The course covers a wide range of topics, all of which he discusses with clear passion. His office hours are especially helpful and provide great support when writing papers.
This class was very emotionally challenging, but also one of the most eyeopening, frustrating, and fascinating class I've taken at Middlebury. There is a lot of reading and reading responses for almost every class, so you cannot hide. But the readings are all very interesting and the work feels WORTH it. Professor Suarez spend the first part of the semester "dragging you by the lapels" through the reality of our planet. Then, we dive into the justice component of everything, before exploring what we can do next to try and find hope.
