Kate Darby: Using Mapping the Environment with Sensory Perception at Western Washington University
Environmental justice (EJ) is both a mode of scholarship that critically examines the human-environment relationship, and a social movement that seeks to address inequities embedded in that relationship. The modern US environmental justice movement emerged in the 1980s in response to the growing acknowledgement that marginalized communities were bearing a disproportionate burden of hazardous waste exposure. Researchers from academia, government and the nonprofit sector began to document these disproportionate impacts across a range of environmental hazards.
