The @mellonfdn has awarded a $1 million grant to Wake Forest University to create a model program for engaging scholars and the local community in advancing environmental justice. Starting with a collaboration between Wake Forest’s African American Studies program and Environmental Studies program, the scope of the work will extend to departments across campus and into the community. The three-year, multi-pronged effort – called “Environmental and Epistemic Justice: A Transformative Humanistic Model for Science and Technology Studies” – will help the University imagine, design and develop a humanistic Science and Technology Studies curriculum that places environmental justice at the center. It will build on the STEM-focused programs in the local community supported by earlier Mellon grants. Read more at the link in our profile. wakefo.rest/3iwgr9C
