Talk Title: Strengthening Social-Inclusivity in Civil and Environmental Systems: Cases for Food-Energy-Water Equity and Applications to the Built Environment

Abstract:
Matters of racial/ethnic and socioeconomic equity have not always been a central feature of food-energy-water studies. I have begun to address this gap in research by developing and employing innovative methodology in collaboration with cross-disciplinary scientists. The associated studies show that land, greenhouse gas, and water food consumption impacts vary in statistically significant ways across U.S. Black, Latinx, and White populations. Furthermore, these study methods and findings have tangible application to future studies around the world as well as global environmental degradation implications. Join me to learn more about the details and how my future research directions can be applied to the built environment.
