2021-2022 Student Award Recap

As we are still in the midst of both a global pandemic that continues to affect the lives of everyone on the globe, multiple deadly conflicts in places such as Yemen, Syria, Ukraine and other locales, and the active stripping away of rights in the United States of America, we are glad to find inspiration and hope in the work of our student awardees. These students are dedicating time and effort to addressing not only environmental and climate injustice, but also advocating for democracy, civil rights, accessibility and methods to deal with trauma. We are proud to support the work of these amazing people and are happy to share their work with you. If you are interested in hearing more or want to further support their work, please feel free to reach out to us. And to all of the awardees, thank you for the time and commitment you put into your projects.

2020 Student Awards Update Part 2

The previous semester (Spring ‘20), the Tishman Environment and Design Center created student awards to help support the work of students doing research and projects around environmental and climate justice, which was especially critical during the beginning phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were glad to support fourteen projects which were carried out by twenty-three students from across the university.

In part two of the series, we highlight four more projects and as always we would like to thank all the students for their hard work and are proud to see them making a positive difference in the world.

We are facing a climate crisis and the threat it poses to life on Earth, frontline, fenceline and marginalized communities (including Women, Indigenous, People of Color and Global South communities) are among the foremost challenges of our time. Globally seas are rising, coastlines are eroding, weather patterns are changing, droughts and forest fires are increasing and species extinction is rising exponentially. Solutions to the climate crisis vary among stakeholders from across disciplines.
