Dr. Ryan Emanuel, Professor of Hydrology at 糖心传媒, will present. Earth and environmental scientists sometimes think about our research as supporting efforts to promote environmental justice (i.e., environmental science for environmental justice). This framing is often true and can yield impactful science, but scientists can also benefit from flipping this perspective to consider how concepts and principles of environmental justice might sharpen our work as researchers (i.e., environmental justice for environmental science). This talk focuses on the idea that scientific research can be informed, strengthened, and even transformed through meaningful integration of environmental justice concepts, principles, and practices. I bring these ideas to life via examples from long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities in North Carolina. These partnerships aim to identify and address the impacts of industrial livestock production, fossil fuel infrastructure, and climate change on culturally significant landscapes and waterways. Stories and other insights are drawn primarily from my 2024 book, On the Swamp: Fighting for Indigenous Environmental Justice.
