Three experts from across campus will each discuss their work related to environmental justice and respond to questions from attendees during the #FunkPanel2025. Their work includes research at the intersection of environmental justice and energy policy in the U.S., community-based movements and marginalized communities with specific focus on water systems in Puerto Rico, as well as public health and water quality issues facing underserved individuals in rural communities and on private wells in the U.S. This hybrid panel presentation on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. (Central) will be an opportunity for people to come together with the Funk ACES Library to learn about and discuss environmental justice research and initiatives led by members of our campus community.
We invite you to attend the panel in-person on the 2nd floor of the Funk ACES Library for an opportunity to talk with the panelists and other attendees during the 30-minute reception following the presentation. Also, for in-person attendees, we will have a raffle for two books related to environmental justice. We are providing a Zoom option for people to attend the panel virtually.
