Venue: CCEPA
Address: 630 Francklyn Street

Dr. Ingrid Waldron, School of Nursing, Dalhousie University

Project Lead, Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (ENRICH)

 

Environmental racism can be defined as the disproportionate location of waste facilities and other environmentally hazardous activities near to communities of colour and the working poor, relative to other communities. Dr. Waldron will explore processes where race, socio-economic status and class get written into Nova Scotia’s environmental policies.
