This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to sustainable sanitation, drawing on multiple fields of research and practice, such as public health, engineering, policy and planning, urban environmental history, gender inequality, environmental justice, climate change, social entrepreneurship, and human rights. We will explore sewers, wastewater treatment, and on-site sanitation while examining the problems of inadequate sanitation in the U.S. and internationally and the solutions available to address these problems.
