Environmental Justice at Stanford

Picture
The Environmental Justice Working Group (EJWG) at Stanford is an intergenerational collective working to embed environmental justice into our research, teaching, and community-engagement at Stanford since 2012. Our EJWG Coordinating Council meets every two weeks. We comprise a dedicated leadership team with faculty, staff, and student co-leads and representatives from 20 different organizational affiliations on campus. We serve a broader community of 800+ members and connect broadly with Bay Area EJ leaders supporting academic-community partnerships.

GET CONNECTED! If you would like more information, you can reach us at [email protected]. You can also connect with us on Facebook and Twitter, as well as join our email listserv.

New Video! EJ at Stanford, directed by Michelle Ng
​Many thanks to Michelle Ng for her work documenting the history, culture, and meaning of EJ contributions at Stanford thus far. This 8-minute video shares the voices of many EJ leaders at Stanford, and our cross-campus collaborations bringing environmental justice into our research, education, and community engagement at the university. ​​
Environmental Justice (EJ)  advances a positive vision for actions and policies that fight environmental racism.

This work requires us to center the voices and leadership of marginalized
communities in
 1) the fight for equitable access to environmental benefits and 
2) the prevention and mitigation of the disproportionate impacts of environmental harms
for all individuals and communities, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, age, ability, and income/wealth.

​Furthermore, we fight for EJ across a broad range of social and physical environments, including the places where we live, work, play, eat, worship, and learn.
There are four key component to the Stanford Environmental Justice Working Group's working definition of Environmental Justice (EJ)

Why EJ @ Stanford?
Part of this work involves diversifying our faculty, establishing community research partnerships, and learning from the perspectives of marginalized communities. 
​
EJ approaches are important for building trust with large segments of society that are currently excluded from most environmental decision-making and academic knowledge production. ​
