Environmental Justice Reading Group - EJ + Reproductive Justice
This event is not open to the public.
Join the Environmental Law Society for the fifth spring meeting of the Environmental Justice Reading Group on Friday, March 19 at 2pm NY time (Zoom link). We’ll be discussing the intersections between the environmental and reproductive justice movements, including the effects of pollution on fertility, the disproportionate impact of pollution on communities of color, concerns about overpopulation, and blueprints for collaboration between RJ & EJ activism. ELS will circulate some suggested readings in advance of the session, which you'll be able to find on our website.
The EJ Reading Group is a relaxed space to discuss and learn more about some of the major issues at the intersection of law, society, and the environment, particularly in light of the incoming administration’s pledge to pursue environmental justice. Find our schedule for the semester here!
We encourage everyone with an interest — even in just a single week’s topic — to attend. No prior knowledge of environmental law is expected, and no reading is necessary! We circulate a variety of suggested readings, videos, and/or podcasts for each session, but the aim is to learn from each other and to encourage new perspectives and new developments.
Interested in guiding a discussion, proposing a topic, or otherwise helping keep the group running? Reach out to ELS Co-Chair Will Rose at wcr241@nyu.edu and he’ll get you looped in!
