In These Times, Season 2 | Environmental Justice and Race (Ep. 5)
Manage episode 291987847 series 1004406
When Covid-19 delivered a disproportionate blow to communities of color, environmental hazards like air pollution, that are all too frequently present in these communities, was one of the contributing factors cited by experts. The idea that race is a factor in determining who has access to resources that allow a community to thrive is not so much news as it is a part of the American story. Today, there is a wider recognition that environmental racism is one of many forms of systemic racism, and that environmental justice and climate change are interconnected problems.
Guests:
Herman Beavers, Julie Beren Platt and Marc E. Platt President's Distinguished Professor of English and Africana Studies
Daniel Aldana Cohen, Assistant Professor of Sociology
Tsemone Ogbemi, C'21, Penn Program in Environmental Humanities Public Research Intern
