There鈥檚 Something in the Water: The Politics of Race, Place & Waste in Indigenous and African Nova Scotian Communities

Prof. Ingrid Waldron
Faculty of Health
Dalhousie University

In this presentation Dr. Ingrid Waldron examines the social justice dimensions of race, place, space, and the environment in Indigenous and African Nova Scotian communities by exploring how hierarchies and intersections of race, culture, gender, income, class, and other social identities are spatialized in rural and urban settings. She will unpack the larger socio-spatial processes that create disproportionate exposure and vulnerability to the harmful social, economic, and health impacts of environmental injustices and other place-based inequalities in Indigenous and Black communities.
