Environmental Justice
The Environmental Justice Working Group @ LSU (EJWG) brings together scholars and researchers across LSU with deep knowledge of historical patterns of inequality—particularly the distribution of environmental burdens and economic benefits--in the United States and the Gulf South. Our research collaborations seek to operationalize notions of distributional and reparative justice in ways that center vulnerable communities, and provide effective frameworks to assess and evaluate community benefits in collaboration with affected communities.
