Collected by: Tufts University

Archived since: Jul, 2016

Description:

This collection contains websites, media, blogs, and social media feeds of citizen groups and organizations that deal with environmental justice issues. The collection focuses primarily on the United States, with an emphasis on the Boston area and the Northeast. In addition to sites covering environmental justice issues broadly, the collection contains topical subgroups focused on the City of Boston & Greater Boston; indigenous peoples; housing & urban issues; women; food justice; and water justice. Sites were identified by searching a series of topical keywords; by following related links from websites and Facebook “Liked by” pages; and by students in two Fall 2016 courses researching topics in environmental justice. Sites hosted at other educational institutions or governmental sites that otherwise meet the selection criteria are not included.
