Race, Racism, and Whiteness

Racism and the Environment Through the Lens of Epidemiology

Racism and environmental pollution are inextricably linked. We will review the state-of-the-science regarding the disproportionate environmental health risks faced by Black, Indigenous, and other people of color. Adjusting for race/ethnicity in epidemiology, though common practice (as opposed to characterizing social position, material resources, experiences of racism), can perpetuate harmful narratives around the biological basis of racial differences in health.

The environmental justice movement seeks to address the concerns of communities exposed to myriad pollutants. We will discuss the role of epidemiology within environmental justice, including the integration of research methods to help promote data quality and support community mobilization.
