The Niger Delta as a Cautionary Tale for Environmental Sacrifice Zones Worldwide

[Students: I have a new idea for this section, and I want to know what you think. Instead of personal essays reflecting on what you learned about the significance and urgency of this topic, I'd like you to upload video journals of you orally reflecting on what you learned about the significance and urgency of this topic. I think this will make it more personal and interactive. Plus we can try out a new form of media. What do you think?]
