Handbook (2014-2019) KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY, MALETE...The University for Community Development KWASU: The Beginning WARA STATE UNIVERSITY (KWASU) is the 34th of the state universities and the 95th university to be approved by the National Universities Commission K(NUC) as a conventional university in Nigeria. It commenced academic activities on December 17, 2009 with the vision to be Foremost in expanding the frontiers of knowledge and be most innovative in disseminating knowledge towards advancing the cause of humanity. This informs our strive to be the University for Community Development and our mission to be the fulcrum of a knowledge-driven society, building human competence and fostering determination and competition among people through the instrumentality of modern technology. In pursuit of the above vision and mission, the University carefully assembled manpower (locally and internationally), and developed the most ultra-modern facilities with high ICT intensiveness to pursue the accomplishment of her dream of a 'world class university'. Established by the administration of Dr. Bukola Saraki in 2009, the Kwara State University was envisioned to be more than a typical university in Nigeria. It was designed to be a center for community service and entrepreneurship. In a country where the fundamental values of volunteerism and community involvement are yet to be fully embraced, Kwara State University sets itself apart as an institution built around the community. The university recognises itself as a part of a community and is determined to make its impact felt. To champion this cause the position of a Director for Community Development was 1

KWASU Entrepreneurship Centre in the same year of establishing the University. created for the purpose of mobilizing the community, setting assessment strategies, and identifying the needs within the community so that lecturers and students can use their expertise to impact directly on the communities. Also, Kwara State University is the first university of its kind in Nigeria that has recognised the urgent need for a university education that is focused on value re-orientation towards selfemployment and job creation. The identification of this need led to the c r e a t i o n o f t h e U n i v e r s i t y ' s The journey towards establishing a State University in Kwara State began as far back as November 1990. In 2002, the attempt to convert Kwara State Polytechnic into a University by the then Governor of Kwara State, Late Alhaji Mohammed Lawal failed. On July 11, 2007 the Kwara State Governor then, Dr. Bukola Saraki, inaugurated a Planning Committee under the former Governor of Kwara State, Alhaji Mohammed Shaaba Lafiagi to prepare ground for the establishment of the Kwara State University. The Bill for the Kwara State University was signed into law on December 24, 2008 thus facilitating the completion of the process of certification with the receipt of the certificate and instrument to operate the university on February 9, 2009 from the National Universities Commission (NUC). The foundation stone for commencement of construction work was laid on May 19, 2009 at the Malete Campus by Dr Bukola Saraki while the official commissioning ceremony of the University was carried out on May 19, 2011 (exactly two years after) by His Excellency, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The pioneer Vice- Chancellor, Professor Abdul-Rasheed Na'Allah, who until his appointment, was Chair of the African American Studies Department of the Western Illinois University, Macomb, United States of America, assumed office on Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Kwara State University was designed to have academic activities with colleges operating from three campuses located in Malete, Ilesha-Baruba and Osi-Opin. Malete Campus, which is the main campus is to accommodate College of Pure and Applied Sciences, College of Information and Communication Technology, and the College of Education. Osi (Ekiti Local Government) Campus: was originally planned to house the College of Humanities, Management and Social Sciences, but is now expected to accommodate the newly proposed College of Law. Baruba (Baruten Local Government) Campus: should house the College of Agriculture. Kwara State University has several academic centers. One of such centers is the Center for Ecology and Environmental Management and Studies CEERMS which recently received a grant from (UNESCO) worth $15.3 million to be used over a six year period to establish the UNESCO Chair for Alternative Energy Programme. This grant is for research in Alternative Energy and is to be handled by Kwara State University Center for Ecological and Environmental 2

Handbook (2014-2019) Research Management Studies (CEERMS). Other centers of the University are; Center for African Oral Traditions, Institute for Asian Studies, Ibrahim Gambari Center for the Study of United Nations and Regional Organizations, Center for Pre-degree and Remedial Studies, Center for Human Rights and the Law, Center for Modernity and Religion, Center for Art Preservation, Center for Sponsored Projects, Center for Innovation in Teaching and Research, Center for Innovative Technology, Center for Innovation and International Studies, Center for Bio-Computational Applications and the Center for Entrepreneurship. The Center for Entrepreneurship is aimed at preparing KWASU graduates to identify and recognize opportunities through appropriate re-orientation towards job creation. The university works with the students, while they are still in the university, to propose and implement a project. As the students graduate, the university partners with the students in implementing the various projects. It also created a start up fund that is accessible to student for this purpose. Kwara State University, from inception had committed to the internationalization of its programmes, faculty and curriculum. To this end the Centre for Innovation and International Studies was established with Nancy Hannemann as its pioneer Director. While KWASU plans to expand its study abroad locations, it currently has a partnership with Thammasat University in Thailand; Korean Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST), South Korea; Columbia University, New York, USA; University of the State of Bahia (UNEB), Salvador, Brazil; Texas Southern University, Houston, Texas, USA; etc, Our teaching staff consists of scholars such as Prof. Leo Daniel, MLK Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT) as Provost at the College of Engineering and Technology, Prof. Abiola Irele from Harvard University as Provost at the College of Humanities, Management and Social Sciences; and Prof. Winston Wole Soboyejo from Princeton University amongst others. The University in her strive for academic excellence and exploit of the nation's potentials first, established the School of Visual and Performing Arts, and thereafter, the School of Business and Governance to address the challenges of the business environment and governance in the country. We also established the Institute of Education and the Institute of Professional Studies to produce professional graduates that would be ready for the challenges of professionalism in the work environment. Also recently the Scghool of Tourism, Hospitality and Events Management and the School of Allied and Environmental Health Sciences were established. To pursue the dream of postgraduate research and manpower development, the School of Postgraduate Studies was created on September 1, 2014 from the Postgraduate Studies Council that was set up in August 2013 to put together the process of commencement of postgraduate programmes in from the 2014/2015 Academic Session. It is our believe that with this, the University will be able to produce the appropriate manpower and pursue vigorous advanced research that will facilitate the transformation of the development of Kwara State, in particular and Nigeria, in general.

Handbook (2014-2019) THE SCHOOL OF POST-GRADUATE STUDIES OF KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY wara State University was established in 2009 with the vision "to be foremost in expanding the frontiers of knowledge, and be most innovative in disseminating knowledge towards advancing the Kcause of humanity. The mission statement of the Kwara State University is, "to be the fulcrum of a knowledge driven society, building human competences and fostering determination and competition among people through the instrumentality of modern technology". The above vision and mission culminates in the mantra of Kwara State University as "the University for Community Development". In pursuit of this mantra, the Kwara State University established the School of Post-Graduate Studies to regulate all postgraduate programmes in the University. Philosophy and Objectives of the Post-Graduate Programmes The philosophy and objectives underlying the introduction of the Post Graduate Programmes at Kwara State University is borne from the mission statement of the University, "to be the fulcrum of a knowledge driven society, building human competences and fostering determination and competition among people through the instrumentality of modern technology". Hence, the programmes are expected to deepen the zeal and capacity of graduate students in research, teaching and meet administrative needs for national and global development via public and private sector participation. The establishment of these progammes is with the expectation to meet the needs for graduate education and training in the various recognized areas for the benefits of the state and country. Objectives of Establishing the Post-Graduate Programmes: These Programmes are designed to provide high level personnel capable of conducting independent research and providing intellectual and corporate leadership at national and international levels. The Post Graduate Programmes will ensure training facilities are made available for those whose future career is tuned within academic responsibility of teaching and research at this University (KWASU) and national institutions and those whose desire is to operate in the global environment and producing manpower for global competitiveness. Rational/Justification for the Post-Graduate Programmes The justification for these programmes is predicated on the wide gap between the demand and the supply of manpower required in these fields of study, particularly as it relates to the academic supply gap in the Nigerian University System. Kwara State University, being one of the Nigerian Universities is not left out of the pains of this supply gap, and would therefore be contributing towards filling the gap through the introduction of these programmes. 8

Handbook (2014-2019) The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission's recent charge to Nigerian Universities to devise a pragmatic and lasting solution to filling the gap in PhD holders in the University system, which was put at 65%, is a more than reasonable justification for the introduction of these programmes. The utmost desire of Kwara State University as clearly expressed in the University's vision "to be foremost in expanding the frontiers of knowledge towards advancing the cause of humanity is a noble justification for embarking on this journey in response to the obvious dearth of qualified manpower in most of these disciplines. 1.1 Objectives of Establishing the SPGS (i) To provide opportunities for postgraduate studies in fulfilment of one of the objectives of the establishment of Kwara State University.

Handbook (2014-2019) THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD AND PRIMARY EDUCATION MASTER OF EDUCATION (M.Ed) PROGRAMME IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION Philosophy The Master of Education (M.Ed) Programme in Early Childhood Education in the Department of Early Childhood and Primary Education is aimed at preparing Childhood Education professionals who are capable of assuming leadership positions as Early Childhood Educators in Colleges of Education, Universities, Ministry of Education, Administrators in Public or Private Elementary Schools, Instructors and Curriculum Specialists in Child Institutes as well as Early Intervention Specialists in all organizations concerned with the education,development and welfare of children. The programme enables students to extend their critical analysis, research, curriculum and pedagogy capabilities in the education of children. This builds on the theoretical and philosophical assumptions of the Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and Primary Education degree of KWASU which aims at developing the foundation for implementing developmentally appropriate programmes for young children. Such a view of early childhood/primary teacher education has its roots in the following key premises: a) Teachers must be knowledgeable in child development before they can implement programmes based on child development principles. b) Experiences with children provide the imperial basis for appropriate practices and pedagogical knowledge. c) Implementing a developmentally appropriate programme requires preparation that is specifically designed for teaching young children through an individualized, concrete, experiential approach. d) Developing a professional code of ethics, sensitivity to and respect for children and the social cultural context in which they live enables teachers to evolve and reach their professional potential. e) The understanding of early childhood and primary education in the social, political, family and community environment fosters the teacher's growth and prepares the teacher to serve as a productive member of the early childhood profession. THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD AND PRIMARY EDUCATION COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The Federal Government of Nigeria has recently emphasized the inclusion of Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) programmes (kindergarten classes) in all Public Primary Schools while the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) has made it mandatory for all Colleges of Education to have Departments of Early Childhood Education. The M.Ed Programme in Early Childhood Education will therefore provide the needed teacher educators ( with post graduate qualification) who will not only train the needed personnel in ECCD but also train teachers for the Nursery and Primary levels of education. 25

It equips students and prepares them for thesis writing. 802: Studies in African Fiction An intensive study of African prose fiction in its various forms. The thrust of this course is the historical, sociological and contextual aspects of the genres of fiction. It is desirable that students transcend an analysis of aspects of fiction such as setting, thematic preoccupation and form. The course will prepare students for locating fiction in diverse milieu and antique of extra-literary determinants; including austerist ideology, social crucible and theoretical issues that provide for a comprehensive and advanced in-depth critical dispensation. This critical dispensation including less known texts, will enhance students' literary perception. There will be an emphasis on modern and contemporary trends and peculiarities in the growth of fiction. The contributions of authors whose works constitute landmarks in the growth of fiction is essential. Such authors include Henry James, Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. Others are Graham Greene, William Golding and Angus William. 803: Advanced Literary Theory and Criticism The Development of literary criticism and theory informs every aspect of literary studies especially at the post-graduate levels. This course will look at aspects of biography, chronology, sources, influences and bibliography in relation to literature, and on specific theoretical approaches to the study of literature. The intersections of literature and other disciplines that account for the diversities of critical studies and theories should also be examined. There will be an underscoring of the modern and contemporary periods as the melting pot of theories. The interaction of literature with philosophy, psychology, sociology, ideology, and the way literary theories are enriched by inter-disciplinary thrust will be well grounded. 148

Handbook (2014-2019) Authors and texts will be studied from generic, periodical, regional and other dimensions and perspectives. Theories such as Formalism Structuralism, and Reader Response theory will be critiqued. More modern and contemporary criticism and theories that will be studied include Semiotics, Deconstruction, Post Modernism, Gender theories, Inter-texuality, Psycho-analysis, Postructuralism, e.t.c.

The relative dearth of qualified senior academic staff in this field as confirmed by the lack of adequate intervention team and numerous adverts in the national and regional dailies is one of the major reason for the decision to develop to develop this postgraduate programmes for Environmental Health Science. THE VISION AND MISSION OF KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY The Kwara State University was established with the vision of "to be first in expanding the frontiers of knowledge, and be most innovative in disseminating knowledge towards advancing the cause of humanity" The mission statement of the Kwara State University is "to be fulcrum of a knowledge driven society, building human competences and fostering determination and competition among people through the instrumentality of modern technology". The above vision and mission culminates in the slogan of Kwara State University as " the University for Community Development". THE HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Environmental Health Science was approved by the University Senate in 2011/2012 session to commence bachelor of science degree for professionals and regular and post-graduate diploma in environmental health science. With this decision, the programme has successfully completed a session of post-graduate diploma graduates and has student currently in their 500 level. The students population in the professional program has grown over the last three years from take-off student of forty-five to an average of fifty-five to sixty-five students as every other levels. Goal The broad goal of the post-graduate program in Environmental Health is to train qualified professionals in Environmental Health in advanced principles and practice of Environmental/public health and its technologies for purposes of preventing diseases and improving human welfare through technological and engineering development. Aim The educational aim of this programme is to offer a challenging scheme of study invigorated by research, which advances students' ability to develop the academic and 230

Handbook (2014-2019) practical skills needed as an Environmental Health Professional. It is intended that graduates will be encouraged to develop a range of transferable and subject specific expertise using their initiative and working out problems for themselves. Objectives The post-graduate programme in environmental health is guided by some broad objectives that serve as a yardstick for assessing curricula relevance of various teaching-learning processes and course content. These objectives require that upon completion of the relevant curriculum, a successful post-graduate student would have acquired the following competencies: A demonstrably adequate knowledge of the concept of environmental health and its relevance in the assurance of optimal health for members of various communities and different at risk population groups. Knowledge and skills to effectively carry out health needs assessment, as well as epidemiological studies on prevalent health problems, of communities and groups and also to formulate and implement communities health action plans for the prevention and control of these problems. Knowledge and favourable attitude toward multi-disciplinary team and multisectoral approach to the formulation and implementation of programmes to promote the health status of communities and other at risk population groups. Knowledge and skills to plan administer and evaluate appropriate health intervention programs of promotive, preventive and rehabilitative scope, in collaboration with other members of the health team with view to reducing mortality and morbidity risks in the population. This requires project management skills that can be acquired through participation in the teachinglearning processes specified in the curriculum.

FSQ 804: Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) (2, 1, 3 Credits) The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is a management system focused on prevention of problems in order to assure the production of food products that are safe to consume. A food grower, processor, handler, distributor or consumer should have sufficient information concerning the food and the related procedures they are using, so they will be able to identify where and how a food safety problem may occur. If the where and the how are known, prevention becomes easy and obvious, and finished product inspection and testing becomes superfluous. By definition, the HACCP concept covers all types of potential food safety hazards biological, chemical and physical whether they are naturally occurring in the food, contributed by the environment or generated by a mistake in the manufacturing process. While chemical hazards are still feared by many consumers and physical hazards are the most common identified by consumers, microbiological hazards are the most serious from a public health perspective. For this reason, while HACCP systems address all three types of hazards, a majority of the emphasis is placed on microbiological issues.

This is a mobile system that measures qualitative rather than quantitative parameters. It requires radiance difference between gas and background. A work permit is necessary to operate the instrument. Active plume imaging also requires a background within close proximity to emission source. 268

Handbook (2014-2019) Optical Air Monitoring Optical air monitoring is another type of remote sensing technique. There are numerous optical instruments such as OP-FTIR (Open Path Fourier Transform Infrared) and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). OP-FITR measures more than 100 compounds simultaneously at the distance of up to 0.8 miles. LIDAR maps all the chemicals in the radius of 50 miles. However, due to its complexity this expensive and large system requires highly skilled personnel trained on the use. Air Sampling Collection devices are convenient and inexpensive ways to monitor the quality of air. Bags and canisters can be active or passive which means that they don't require built-in pump to suck up the air. To get the results these devices need to be sent to the laboratory. Tubes allow indoor air monitoring and some models give immediate reading. These low-cost devices are adequate for personal sampling. Limitations of tubes are possible chemical cross contamination and impact by water vapour on the sampling process. New Tech Techniques New instruments introduce more efficient air monitoring techniques. Modified UV-DIOS (Ultraviolet Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometry) can measure aromatics. UV- DIOS uses sophisticated software but is easy to use. It detects gases found in petroleum refineries. Researches also use it near roads to measure air toxins caused by motor vehicles. Smaller companies use modified badges, a type of personal samplers, for examining ambient and indoor air quality. Badges can detect a low-level concentration of toxic gases but still have to be sent to the lab. 2B Technologies Ozone Monitor The 2B Technologies ozone monitor measures ozone ranging from low parts per billion (ppb) up to 100,000 ppb. This is achieved through the technique of absorption of UV light at 254 nanometers. In comparison to conventional instruments, the 2B ozone monitor is lightweight and has low power consumption (12V DC, 0.33 amps, 4.0 watts). With this designation, this ozone monitor can be used to measure Ambient Air Quality Surveillance, monitoring and compliance with the necessary act or regulations. The ozone monitor is ideal for applications such as long-term monitoring at remote locations where power is highly limited, personal exposure monitoring for studies of health effects of air pollutants, laboratory studies of the effects of ozone exposure on materials and organisms and environmental health and safety monitoring. COLLEGE OF PURE AND APPLIED SCIENCES THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY TPI Carbon Monoxide Analyzer Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas that when taken in excess can cause harm to humans and animals. Excess inhalation of carbon monoxide can cause pulmonary diseases, brain damage and premature birth in pregnant women. Due to the detrimental effects of this gas, it is important to monitor the levels of CO in the environment. Used to test flue gases at home or office spaces, this carbon-monoxide analyzer provides a clear and fast response with advanced pump-driven technology, according to manufacturers. The TPI carbonmonoxide analyzer has peak hold, a feature that allows it to capture peak CO readings. The device also has a store button that allows up to eight readings to be saved. 269

Handbook (2014-2019) THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY COLLEGE OF PURE AND APPLIED SCIENCES Nitrogen Dioxide Monitor Z-1400 Nitrogen dioxide is another dangerous gas. When exposed to oxygen and fuel combustion in vehicles, nitrogen can aggravate lung and heart problems when inhaled in excess. The nitrogen dioxide monitor Z-1400 is ideal for measuring the nitrogen dioxide concentration present in the air. This hand-held device comes with an LCD display that gives concentrations in parts per million. Atmospheric/Barometric Pressure Atmospheric, or barometric, pressure is measured as the pressure or weight of air above a certain location. The pressure is related to the density of the air and also the weather conditions. Higher pressure measurements are related to fair weather, while low atmospheric pressure causes poor and unstable weather conditions. Lift is necessary to create atmospheric instability. It can be caused by rising air or low pressure. Updrafts, which is rising air, can be measured by testing wind speed and direction. Updrafts are often responsible for the more dramatic storm actions because they cause rapid instability in the atmosphere by pushing low pressure air upward. Barometer Barometers, as the name implies, measure barometric pressure. Mercury and aneroid barometers are the most common barometers. Mercury barometers are tubes holding mercury that rises or falls depending on the air pressure. Aneroid barometers measure atmospheric pressure in aneroid or sylphon cells. Meteorological Balloon Meteorological balloons can be used to measure atmospheric stability, specifically by measuring atmospheric conditions high in the air. Meteorological balloons can measure air pressure, humidity, wind speed and temperature, and usually consist of a lightweight rubber "balloon" filled with hydrogen or helium. They are released into the atmosphere and fly miles into the atmosphere to take and relay the measurements back to ground. Methods Methods take measurements of certain qualities of the atmosphere to reach a cumulative assessment of the atmosphere's stability. The Pasquill-Gifford Method, for example, measures surface wind, surface temperature, solar radiation, cloud cover and cloud height. It is useful to take these measurements to know the stability of the atmosphere. For instance, when there is high surface heat and low surface wind, unstable conditions are more likely to occur.

Handbook (2014-2019) THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY COLLEGE OF PURE AND APPLIED SCIENCES POST-GRADUATE PROGRAMMES IN PLANT AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY PREAMBLE The global concern for environmental sustainability in the face of climate change, global warming, industrial pollution, desert encroachment, deforestation, waste generation etc, is a primary concern in Nigeria. The relative dearth of qualified senior academic staff in this field as confirmed by the lack of adequate intervention team and numerous adverts in the national and regional dailies is one of the major reason for the decision to develop to develop this postgraduate programmes for Plant and Environmental Biology. THE VISION AND MISSION OF KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY The Kwara State University was established with the vision of "to be first in expanding the frontiers of knowledge, and be most innovative in disseminating knowledge towards advancing the cause of humanity" The mission statement of the Kwara State University is "to be fulcrum of a knowledge driven society, building human competences and fostering determination and competition among people through the instrumentality of modern technology". The above vision and mission culminates in the slogan of Kwara State University as the University for Community Development". THE HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Plant and Environmental Biology was approved by the University Senate at conception of the University in 2009 to commence Bachelor of Science degree in the related field. The successful completion of four year academic program and graduation of undergraduate students in this field has promulgated the need for development of specialisation in areas with greater focus on research and development of new scientific policy aimed to address the manpower deficiency with focus on Plant and Environmental Biology rather than usual Plant Biology or Botany as it exist in most National Universities across Nigeria Goal The broad goal of the post-graduate program in Plant and Environmental Biology is to train qualified professionals in Plant and Environmental Biology in advanced principles and practice of environmental management with focus on application of and relationship in remedial or amelioration application of plant, thus helping to preventing degradation and sustainability of the environment and ecosystem, thereby helping to improving human welfare through scientific technological and research engineering development. Aim The educational aim of this programme is to offer a challenging scheme of study invigorated by research, which advances students' ability to develop the academic and practical skills needed as Plant and Environmental Biology Professional. It is intended that graduates will be encouraged to develop a range of transferable and subject specific expertise using their initiative and working out problems forthemselves. 292

Handbook (2014-2019) Objectives The post-graduate programme in Plant and Environmental Biology is guided by some broad objectives that serve as a yardstick for assessing curricula relevance of various teaching-learning processes and course content. These objectives require that upon completion of the relevant curriculum, a successful post-graduate student would have acquired the following competencies: A demonstrably adequate knowledge of the concept of plant and Environmental Biology and its relevance in the assurance of environmental sustainability for members of various communities and different at risk population groups. Knowledge and skills to effectively carry out environmental assessment, as well as sustainability studies on prevalent environmental and ecological degradation of the ecosystem and also to formulate and implement communities based action plans for the prevention and amelioration of confronting challenges. Knowledge and favourable attitude toward multi-disciplinary team and multisectoral approach to the formulation and implementation of programmes to promote the ecological and environmental status of communities and their ecosystem. Knowledge and skills to plan administer and evaluate appropriate environmental and ecological sustainability and intervention programs of promotive, preventive and sustainable scope, in collaboration with environmental managers. This requires project management skills that can be acquired through participation in the teaching-learning processes specified in the curriculum. Knowledge and skills to initiate, implement, and evaluate specific environmental and ecological policies in advocacy of the environmental sustainability needs of defined target communities. Knowledge of the legal basis for specific environmental and ecological programmes and policies.

Handbook (2014-2019) THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY COLLEGE OF PURE AND APPLIED SCIENCES concern, and socio-environmental alternatives to our acknowledged ecological crisis. The issues: We begin by defining socio-ecological issues and examine, as a timely example, chemical contamination in the US and its relation to cancer. We explore the roles of private capital, government, and major social institutions in relation both protection of and degradation of the environment. Specific areas of social concern: effects of war on people and the environment and the interrelationships between social inequalities and environmental degradation both in the U.S and globally; differences in class, race, and gender mean that some people are disproportionately burdened by environmental and health consequences promulgated by wars, commerce, and governments. Socio-environmental alternatives: What can be done about environmental problems? Solutions by individual action are important; those accomplished by people working within social organizations may be more far reaching. Environmental social justice movements are social organizations that focus directly on solutions to environmental problems on local, regional, national, and global scales. We review theoretical and descriptive alternatives, including discussions of 'the commons', civil society, deep ecology, radical environmentalism, women and the environment, and a gendered view of global over -population. Finally, we explore the promise of green collar jobs as a way to address both economic and environmental issues at home and abroad.
