Georgetown students have played a crucial role in curating and shaping the conversations in the archive.  In my Disability, Ethics, and EcoJustice course, students grapple with questions of environmental justice through the prism of disability studies, documenting and analyzing the disproportionate harm faced by disability communities in the wake of natural disaster and climate harm.  Together, we examine how disaster situations magnify existing social inequalities, in order to help better understand how challenging structural racism, classism, and ableism are crucial components of environmental ethics.  To synthesize and sharpen those insights, I invite small teams of students to join me in developing and shaping a new piece for the archive—working collaboratively with me to craft a conversation for the archive.  

Disability, Ethics, and EcoJustice is part of Georgetown’s Core Pathway in Climate Change, an initiative that brings together faculty and students from diverse disciplines in the humanities and the sciences to grapple with the realities of climate change.
