Project Overview
Environmental planning practices to remedy environmental concerns across spatial and social inequities fail, particularly as it relates to climate change. Instead, investments can lead to displacement, and community driven solutions are not integrated into actual decision-making practices. Predictably, many Black people, particularly women and femmes have historically been at the forefront of identifying the palpable relationship between race, place and the environment, while pushing forward solutions through activism, organizing, and coalition building. In shifting towards holistic environmental planning processes and ecological restoration, a Black feminist ecological framework is one tool we can use. The postdoc will aid in developing an approach for integrating this framework into planning processes, with the goal of providing a working model for environmental planning that centers the voices, observations, needs and solutions of Black women and femmes.
