“The Quest for Environmental, Climate, Racial, and Economic Justice in the United States”
September 25, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Robert Bullard, 2019 recipient of WSU’s William Julius Wilson Award for the Advancement of Social Justice, is a distinguished professor of urban planning and environmental policy at Texas Southern University in Houston and the author of 18 books. Often called the “father of environmental justice,” Bullard was recently listed among the world’s 100 Most Influential People in Climate Policy by the national policy group Apolitical. Environmental crises, both sudden and ongoing, are among the many causes and contributing factors of forced migration globally. This talk explores these issues in a U.S. context.
