Symposium Goals
Environmental Justice
Environmental justice is a central component of sustainability politics during the Anthropocene –
the current geological age when human activity is the dominant influence on climate and
environment. Every aspect of sustainability politics requires a close analysis of its equity
implications. Environmental justice provides us with the tools to critically investigate the
manifestations and impacts of the Anthropocene as well as the debates over its origins and
causes. From its origins as a US-based movement examining evidence of environmental racism
related to siting of toxic waste sites – as highlighted by the US GAO Study, the UCC study, and Dr.
Robert Bullard’s work - environmental justice has expanded globally, as a movement and field of
research. The Environmental Justice Atlas and similar international initiatives are clear indicators
of this. Today, global EJ activism and research have moved beyond demanding equity in the
distribution of environmental harms and benefits to a call for procedural equity, to help initiate
the structural transformation of the economy and humanity’s relationships with nature as a
means to address social, political, economic, and environmental crises.
Environmental Justice and Sustainability in the Anthropocene,
the group organizing this
symposium, is a global challenges research team sponsored by the School of Global
Environmental Sustainability. Like its sponsor, our GCRT is multidisciplinary and multiscalar and
committed to rigorous research and public engagement.
This symposium aims to bring together academics (faculty and graduate students), independent
researchers, community and movement activists, and regulatory and policy practitioners from a
rich variety of disciplines, research areas, perspectives, and nations. Our overarching goal is to
build on several decades of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable
environmental and ecological problems of the Anthropocene. How do we achieve EJ amongst
humans and between nature and humans, within and across generations, in an age when
humans dominate the landscape? How can we better understand collective human dominance
without obscuring continuing power differentials and inequities within and between human
societies? What institutional and governance innovations can we adopt to address existing
challenges and to promote just transitions and futures? How do we prioritize these goals when
climate change denial, corporate wealth and power, and challenges to democracy threaten
these efforts?

Featured Themes
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY FACETS OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE:
In recent years, EJ research has enriched the study of an array of environmental
issues. Increasingly, scholars and practitioners of EJ are at the forefront of recognizing that
individual environmental issues are inexorably linked. What do we know about EJ with respect to
particular environmental issues? In what ways can EJ help us understand dynamics and relations
across issue areas and disciplines? How can we infuse transdisciplinary methods more fully into
the EJ research agenda? As a citizen science, how can EJ integrate collaborative methods that
recognize the role of social movements as creators of knowledge and engage in methodologies
that entail a more symmetrical approach to research?
JUST TRANSITIONS:
Environmental justice research has also found its way into the study of green transitions and
their impact on work and workplaces and across value chains and production networks. Do the
challenges of the Anthropocene justify any green initiative, at the expense of workers and
communities, or do the challenges of the era require more just and democratic governance?
How should unions, communities and those most vulnerable respond in the absence of a policy
of just transition? How can we ensure that the workplaces and the communities engendered by
green transitions are both green and just? How and at what scale should we confront this
challenge? In what ways can insights from related investigations, such as those of rights,
democracy and governance enrich our understanding of just transitions?
JUST FUTURES:
Environmental justice can also inform how production and consumption can be reorganized to
address the challenges of the Anthropocene in a socio-ecologically just manner. The
transformative vision of EJ can be productively informed by indigenous cosmovisions and
decolonial scholarship, as well as heterodox approaches such as ecological economics. Is growth
an inexorable necessity for achieving social and environmental justice or should we engage more
deeply alternative visions of political economy, political ecology and governance? How can we
better communicate about just futures with students and practitioners with diverse backgrounds
and priorities? What are some of the visions, policy proposals and transformative remedies
emerging from those struggling for EJ that can help reshape the political-economic structure
behind injustices?
