Robert Bullard will present “Environmental Justice for All” at 8 p.m. Monday in the University Theatre.
Earlier that day - from 3:10 to 4:30 p.m. - Bullard will give a seminar in Gallagher Business Building Room 123.
Bullard will discuss his latest research findings about how the high social cost of environmental pollution falls most heavily on poor people and racial minorities.
The Ware Distinguished Professor of Sociology and director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University, Bullard previously served as a professor of sociology at the University of California, Riverside, as well as visiting professor in the Center for Afro-American Studies at the UCLA.
He helped plan the first and the second National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit and served on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Justice Advisory Council, where he chaired the Health and Research subcommittee.
Bullard has testified and served as an expert witness in dozens of civil right cases over the past decade. He is the author of 11 books that address environmental justice, environmental racism, urban land use, facility permitting, community reinvestment housing, transportation, suburban sprawl and smart growth.
His award-winning book, “Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class, and Environmental Quality,” is a standard text in the environmental justice field.
