Addressing Environmental and Food Justice toward Dismantling the School-to-Prison Pipeline: Poisoning and Imprisoning Youth
This cutting-edge collection of essays presents to the reader leading voices within food justice, environmental justice, and school to prison pipeline movements. While many schools, community organizers, professors, politicians, unions, teachers, parents, youth, social workers, and youth advocates are focusing on curriculum, discipline policies, policing practices, incarceration demographics, and diversity of staff, the authors of this book argue that even if all those issues are addressed, healthy food and living environment are fundamental to the emancipation of youth.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Black Women’s and Environmental Racism
Agency is a sociological concept used to refer to the power and autonomy of social actors to think and behave beyond
structural constraints. My scholarship explores Black women’s agency and social movement towards environmental justice (EJ). While investigating the impacts of environmental racism is important, it is also useful to understand how women living in environmentally degraded environments. My work explores how they manage their lives, understand the tools that they deploy to do so, and how they act as agents of change to transform their communities. As interdisciplinary scholar my theoretical roots are derived from Black feminism, environmental sociology, Black studies, and geography. My methods have included both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including geographic information system (GIS) modeling, community-based mapping, focus groups, archival work, and photovoice.
