About the Department
Our Environmental Studies and Race, Ethnic, Gender, and Sexuality Studies are both central, robust, and growing departments at St. Olaf. Located within our Interdisciplinary and General Studies faculty division, they draw upon a wide variety of faculty and students who are invested in interdisciplinary methods that address major scholarly and social questions that impact communities and people. These departments are well supported and strongly positioned as the college redoubles its efforts in sustainability, equity, and inclusion. Faculty across both departments seek to create communities of critical thinkers and agents committed to reconciliation and reparation addressing the legacies of both environmental exploitation and colonization in the homelands of the Wahpekute Band of the Dakota Nation.

Our goal is to generate conversations and processes that over time create greater clarity, transparency, trust, cooperation, consensus, respect, and measurable outcomes. Practices that support this goal include listening, cultivating a growth mindset, respecting those with different views, being informed by data, and understanding that the work is ongoing, collaborative, organic, and ever evolving.
