Participatory Research And Community Organizing, Sung Sil Lee Sohng

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The paper summarizes the political economy of knowledge production in an increasingly privatized, postindustrial world of knowledge society. This analysis is linked to the emergence of participatory research movements. It argues that the participatory approach to community research offers epistemology and methodology that address people, power and praxis in our postmodern, information society. The paper then describes howa participatory research project is carried out in community practice, articulating key moments and the roles of the researcher and participants. In order to develop this understanding further, it examines the efforts of two specific projects and shows how knowledge production can serve …

Analysis Of Air Force Environmental Justice Methodology, Barbara E. Owens

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to analyze AFCEE's draft environmental justice methodology. The study provides background on the meaning of environmental justice along with related terminology, and covers historical events of the environmental justice movement leading up to the publication of EO 12898.

The Fitness Of Law: Using Complexity Theory To Describe The Evolution Of Law And Society And Its Practical Meaning For Democracy, J.B. Ruhl

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article is the second in my series of articles exploring the application of complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory to legal systems. Building on the model outlined in the first installment (in the Duke Law Journal), this work develops an evolutionary theory of legal systems as CAS. It suggests that long-term fitness of the legal system will require use of innovative, adaptive legal institutions and instruments.

The Fitness Of Law: Using Complexity Theory To Describe The Evolution Of Law And Society And Its Practical Meaning For Democracy, J. B. Ruhl

Vanderbilt Law Review

Why does law change, and how does that process unfold? In this Article, Professor Ruhl examines those questions using tools from the emerging field of Complexity Theory. Complexity Theory involves the study of change in dynamical systems. Its findings of unpredictable change in a variety of natural and social settings have profoundly effected the theoretical foundations of many fields of study. In particular, Complexity Theory has revisited the Darwinist theory of biological evolution and used it as a platform for developing a general theory of system evolution that focuses on the concept of fitness landscapes. The fitness, or sustainability, of …

Siting, Justice, And The Environmental Laws, Rodger C. Field

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Environmental justice is gaining momentum throughout the country. As a result, industrial development can no longer be determined solely by the dictates of one agency or entity. Environmental justice requires efforts of all to participate in the decision-making process to determine how industry will develop in the future. This article traces the history and themes of the environmental justice movement and examines that movement's impact on industrial development. Specifically, the article focuses on how the environmental justice movement affects future source-siting decisions and its ramifications on the various levels of government and on the industrial development. The article concludes by …

Title Vi As A Means Of Achieving Environmental Justice, Natalie M. Hammer

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This Comment addresses racism in the siting of hazardous waste facilities. The Comment begins by describing the various studies that document the correlation between race and siting decisions, and the Comment concludes that race is a primary factor in environmental siting decisions. After analyzing the various attempts by minority plaintiffs to address this inequity, the author concludes that Title VI may be the best option for minority plaintiffs to achieve environmental justice.

Major Sources Of Criteria Pollutants In Nonattainment Areas: Balancing The Goals Of Clean Air, Environmental Justice, And Industrial Development, Eileen Gauna

Faculty Scholarship

If an area is suffering from economic decay as well as unhealthy air, should new facilities -- and more pollution -- be allowed into the area anyway? If so, the result is that impoverished areas are afforded less environmental protection.This article addresses an important aspect of this dilemma: under what circumstances, if any, should a facility which will emit large amounts of air pollution be allowed to locate or expand operations in areas of existing poor air quality? Part II of this article provides a brief historical explanation of the Clean Air Act as it pertains to major stationary sources. …
