Fellows Dr. Carolyn Ramírez and Gabriel Gadsden join the Agents of Change in Environmental Justice podcast to discuss some eye- and mind-opening books they’ve been reading on environmental justice.
Ramírez, a staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Gadsden, a Ph.D. student of Environmental Sciences at Yale University’s School of the Environment, discuss “Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1968” by Thomas E. Ricks, and “Pollution Is Colonialism” by Max Liboiron. They both outline how the books will shape their work and research moving forward.
The Agents of Change in Environmental Justice podcast is a biweekly podcast featuring the stories and big ideas from past and present fellows, as well as others in the field. You can see all of the past episodes here.
