https://resilientcommunities.wvu.edu/ #EnvironmentalJustice, ResilientCommunities, InterdisciplinaryDialogue, Participation, PreparednessThe Center for Resilient Communities Environmental Justice Lab invites graduate students and faculty to join us for our first brown bag luncheon gathering of the semester. The luncheon will be held in the Center for Resilient Communities (Room 309) in Brooks Hall on September 15th from 12:00 - 1:30 pm. Please bring your lunch and join us for an interdisciplinary get together around the thematic area environmental justice.
The Environmental Justice Lab examines how space and place affect human and environmental well-being. We aim to promote more sustainable communities by democratizing access to environmental resources, promoting shared governance, increasing equity in and community participation in the decision-making process around liveable healthy places, water security, food access, climate change adaptation, disaster preparedness, and more. This lab raises the questions as to why marginalized communities are on the frontlines of these environmental harms and how we can transform our communities so all can thrive. The EJ lab aims to advance research that educates and advocates for the best interests of people and sustainable communities in West Virginia.
We invite you to share your research and continue to advance the work of faculty and students in education, research, and community engagement built on collective inquiry in the EJ area. We look forward to seeing you!
