Each project has a group of Associates which are actively undertaking research related to that topic, and are committed to fostering policy proposals and other prescriptions around issues of environmental injustice.
The Northeastern Environmental Justice Research Collaborative (NEJRC) is made up of scholars dedicated to building a more transformative environmentalism in the United States and around the world. Based at Northeastern University, NEJRC Associates collaborate with policy makers, elected officials, environmental advocates, foundation officials, scholars, students, community activists, the media, and the general public to provide timely research and commentary on critical social and environmental justice issues, and to promote an alternative political ecology for the new millennium. Our reports and publications have contributed to the adoption of new government regulations and policies, as well as innovative programs and projects from foundations, non-profit organizations, and progressive movements for social change. Explore our website to learn more about NEJRC, and how you might join us in our efforts.
NEW BOOK JUST PUBLISHED: Daniel Faber's new book, CAPITALIZING ON ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE: THE POLLUTER-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION, is now available from Rowman & Littlefield. As stated by David Naguib Pellow, “Faber deftly exposes the roots of the environmental injustices that the poor, people of color, working class, and indigenous communities confront every day in the U.S. and globally. This is a moving and critical account of domination and resistance in the struggle for the most precious thing of all: life itself."
