Environmental Justice News
Premier Issue of Environmental Justice Just Published
The goal of Environmental Justice is to provide an intellectual forum that presents a balanced and objective assessment of environmental inequalities locally, nationally, and globally. The Journal explores the adverse and disparate environmental burden impacting marginalized populations and draws upon the expertise and perspectives of all parties involved in environmental justice struggles: communities, industry, academia, government, and nonprofit organizations.
Legal challenges and lawsuits to ensure prevention of harmful policies, projects, and developments are within its purview, as are issues of compliance and enforcement, activism, and corrective actions. Studies that demonstrate the adverse health affects on populations who are most subject to health and environmental hazards are pertinent, as well as the complicated issues inherent in remediation, funding, relocation of facilities that pose hazardous risk to health, and selection of new locations.
The Journal will engage a multidisciplinary audience including scholars, scholar-activists, grassroots activists, and professionals from multiple disciplines including law, history, geography, political science, biology, economics, philosophy, anthropology, women's studies, African American studies, ethnic studies, environmental engineering, environmental science, urban planning, and psychology.
