Race, Place & Geographies of Disease in Indigenous & Black Communities

In this virtual event, Dr. Ingrid Waldron will examine the social justice dimensions of place and space by unpacking the larger socio-spatial processes that create disproportionate exposure and vulnerability to the harmful social, economic, and health impacts of environmental racism, climate change, and other public infrastructure inequalities in Indigenous and Black communities in Canada. Dr. Waldron’s presentation will include an overview of the interdisciplinary, multi-sectoral, multi-media, and multi-method approaches she has been using over the past several years to raise awareness about and address environmental racism and climate change impacts in Indigenous and Black communities and mobilize knowledge on these issues using documentary film, social and traditional media, mapping, workshops, and other public engagement events, and publications.
