Ithaca College

As part of Ithaca College’s Diversity & Inclusion Discussion Circle, Rebecca Evans, Campus Sustainability Coordinator and Environmental Studies major Laura Waxman ’19 will give a presentation titled, Social Sustainability and Environmental Racism on Wednesday, February 28 at Noon in the Taughannock Falls room, Campus Center.

Their presentation will consist of a brief introduction and review of the history of environmental racism in the United States and subsequent federal policy outcomes. It will then explore how social justice fits into the sustainability framework through interconnections between human needs and natural and financial resources. This presentation seeks to better define the “people” dimension of the Triple Bottom Line and to more intimately include social justice in the sustainability dialogue. There will be time for discussion and questions from the audience as well. All are welcome.
