5: Drinking Water Justice with Dr. Yolanda McDonald
<p>Study after study, we find that communities that have more drinking water violations are disproportionately communities of color and of lower socioeconomic status (SES), which takes into account income, education, and occupation. Why? Enter Dr. Yolanda McDonald, the lead investigator of the Vanderbilt University Drinking Water Justice Lab (DWJL). </p> <p>The DWJL is developing a geospatial database in order to understand drinking water injustice at the community level so that researchers, activists, and citizens can work with community water systems to understand their system's needs and help prevent violations.</p> <p>Dr. McDonald’s research uses geospatial approaches to investigate human health outcomes. She focuses on where and why health inequities and health disparities exist using geographic information science theory, and methods informed by environmental and social justice frameworks, social determinants of health, and the theory of intersectionality. She is passionate about mentoring students and experiential learning opportunities. Dr. McDonald has published articles in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters in the areas of healthcare accessibility, water justice, and climate change and human health.</p> <p>Dr. McDonald earned her M.A. in Sociology from the University of Texas at El Paso with a focus on human health outcomes, associated with lack of access to a public water supply in Colonias, located along the U.S.-Mexico border. She earned her Ph.D. in Geography from Texas A&M University with a focus on health inequities associated with accessibility to preventive cervical cancer healthcare services in New Mexico, USA. She is a Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellow.</p> <p><br></p>

3: Understanding Environmental Justice
<p>To build a better reality, let's look holistically at the problems we face now. Environmental health and environmental justice are frameworks that we can use to better understand the nature of the environmental issues we face. In this episode we talk about root cause, power dynamics, and how some of the realities we face today evolved. We ask who's being the most hurt by negative and evolving environmental conditions, and who's the source behind these conditions to begin with. Armed with these questions and tools to answer them, we'll be ready to take on environmental problems - and solutions. </p>
