Community Science and Environmental Justice in Western New York In-Person / Online

Join Dr. Lourdes Vera, Associate Professor of Sociology and Environment & Sustainability at the University at Buffalo, for an engaging talk on community-driven approaches to environmental challenges in the region. Dr. Vera’s work bridges sociology, environmental monitoring, and data justice, highlighting how residents and citizen scientists can collaboratively identify and address air and soil contamination and other environmental health concerns. Her research explores the intersections of environmental justice, public participation, and equitable access to environmental information.
