Led by social scientists, EcoGovLab brings together researchers and educators across generation, geography, and discipline. A key goal is to bring social science perspective into interdisciplinary environmental research and education. Kim Fortun directs the EcoGovLab. Read about EcoGov Lab researchers here.
EcoGov Lab is affiliated with AirUCI, a solutions-focused, multidisciplinary research unit focused on air pollution, climate change, and sustainability. EcoGovLab also collaborates with many environmental, health and social justice organizations and activists, including MPNA-GREEN in Santa Ana, California; the Descendants Project and Whitney Plantation in St. John Parish, Louisiana; Louisiana Center for Health Equity; the San Antonio Bay Waterkeepers in Calhoun County, Texas; and Justice for Formosa Victims, focused on Vietnam. Our goal is to build durable, reciprocal relationships that make the university a resource for these organizations while creating opportunities for students and faculty to learn from and support them.
EcoGovLab projects include the Asthma Files, Disaster STS Network, Environmental Justice Global Record, and the Reaching for Just Transition seminar series. Read more about EcoGovLab projects here.
