Politics and the Environment: Newpaper Article Assignments
Below are articles and op-ed essays from The New York Times and other sources (as noted) that are assigned for class. All students are responsible for all material. The (N) after the page number means "national edition." If you are looking these articles up at the library and using the New York edition, the page numbers may be different. (But not always. Just check.) Students may want to use LexisNexis to find the full text of these articles online. LexisNexis is free for Emory students. (See the reference librarian if you have not used LexisNexis before). The articles below are listed by date (the most recent first).
