Science to Empower 

This multidisciplinary research and action project aims to build a network of students, scholars, and practitioners at UC Davis and abroad to collaborate in a data-driven co-production model to assess, track, and support communities’ needs in combating environmental injustices.

The project seeks to empower communities and community-based advocacy groups in documenting and communicating the status of environmental justice cases in California and globally by i) providing robust environmental justice research and engagement training opportunities for UC Davis undergraduate and graduate students, and ii) building a platform for a community of scholars and practitioners to interact and form collaborative relationships to support each other’s work.
