An Analysis Of Environmentally Conscious Decision Making And The Influence Of Income And Policy In Washington State, Grace Mckenney
Global Honors Theses
Everyday environmentally conscious decisions such as recycling, composting, buying sustainable food, or driving an electric car, are becoming more prevalent in major cities of the United States and the world.

Through quantitative …

Environmental Racism And The Movement For Black Lives: Grassroots Power In The 21st Century, Rickie Cleere
Environmental Racism And The Movement For Black Lives: Grassroots Power In The 21st Century, Rickie Cleere
Pomona Senior Theses
This thesis explores the ways in which the environmental justice movement, which is in opposition to environmental racism, and the Black Lives Matter movement, which is in opposition to police brutality and other forms of racism, are part of the same struggle: a struggle against the neoliberal violence of the state. This struggle against neoliberal violence is at the same time a struggle for communities of color to achieve self-determination on a global scale, a monumental task which might be informed through a revolutionary intercommunalist framework of global grassroots solidarity. State oppression embodies violence in more forms that one, including …

Although some limited hypotheses can be tested with cross-sectional data, fully understanding how present-day disparities come about requires longitudinal analyses that examine the demographic characteristics of sites at the time of facility siting and track demographic changes after siting. Relatively few such studies …
