WEBSITE
Environmental Justice Mapping Project
Developed this website for undergraduate and graduate research seminars on environmental inequality in the post-World War II United States. For this class, students conduct their own primary historical research on a site of their choosing where environmental injustice took place. They then upload their research and final project to this searchable digital archive and mapping website, which is fully accessible to the general public.
