Curious Minds: A College Lecture Series featuring Dr. Robert D. Bullard

About

Join us for our Curious Minds, Annual Lecture Series, Thursday, November 5 at 5:00 pm at Probasco Auditorium, featuring Dr. Robert D. Bullard.

Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental justice, human rights and public health challenges of our time. But its impacts are not felt equally.

Drawing on decades of research and firsthand experience with disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, Dr. Robert D. Bullard will explore how vulnerable communities face disproportionate environmental risks and barriers to recovery. His lecture will examine the policies and practices that perpetuate inequality and highlight strategies for building stronger, more equitable and resilient communities.

Widely recognized as the “father of environmental justice,” Dr. Robert D. Bullard is a pioneering scholar whose work has helped shape the environmental justice movement. For decades, he has examined the connections between race, environmental policy, public health and inequality.

An award-winning author and advocate, Dr. Bullard has written extensively about environmental racism, climate justice and disaster recovery, including his book The Wrong Complexion for Protection, which explores inequalities in government responses to disasters.
