After Hours Lecture: Elizabeth River Environmental Justice Tool Focuses on Equity
Date/Time: Thursday, September 29, 2022 7pm EDT
Location: Online and in person at Watermen’s Hall VIMS, Gloucester Point
Join Dr. Molly Mitchell, research assistant professor at VIMS, and Joe Rieger, deputy director of restoration at the Elizabeth River Project, as they discuss the Elizabeth River Environmental Justice Tool. This tool, developed through collaboration between ERP and VIMS, allows planners to deliberately focus on equity for historically marginalized communities within the Elizabeth River watershed. Combining social and environmental data sets, the EREJT is an environmental justice resource that can be used across disciplines to address racial disparities while addressing critical environmental issues impacting the communities.
