Note that this is a collaborative seminar hosted by the SE CASC Global Change Fellows.

Panel Speakers: Alessandra Jerolleman (USGS), Donna Chavis (Friends of the Earth), and John Warford (Deep South Center for Environmental Justice).

Abstract: Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies (US EPA). While many individuals may not see the relevance of environmental justice within their research or daily practice, through this discussion, we aim to highlight the importance of integrating this concept into individuals’ perspectives.

This is a hybrid event happening synchronously in David Clark Labs Room 101 and via Zoom. Register here to attend virtually.

And, join the Department of Applied Ecology afterwards for a happy hour at Raleigh Brewing Company!
