Regina Hall Instagram – So happy to be uplifting environmental racism expert, Ingrid Waldron as my #WCW for this week. Among many things, Toronto born @waldroningrid is a @DalhousieU professor, Author, Director of the ENRICH Project & Co-producer of the @Netflix documentary “There’s Something in the Water”.
Based on Dr. Waldron’s first book, #TheresSomethingInTheWater, examines the legacy of #EnvironmentalRacism and its health impacts in #Indigenous and #BlackCommunities in Canada, using #NovaScotia as a case study, and the grassroots resistance activities by Indigenous and Black communities against the pollution and poisoning of their communities.
As the Director of the ENRICH Project over the last 8 years, Dr. Waldron has been investigating the socio-economic, political, and health effects of environmental racism in Mi’kmaq and African Nova Scotian communities.
Next Wed Oct. 28, you can find @waldroningrid on the @Climate.Refugees panel discussing “The Intersections of Climate Change & Race” organized by the Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University (@ishr_columbia) and @Climate.Refugees.
