We will have more to come next week to commemorate Black History Month. This coming week we hope you will attend the 2nd annual Donald Hopkins Predoctoral Scholars Lecture. The mission of the program is to prepare students from underrepresented communities for doctoral study and to increase diversity among students pursuing Ph.D. degrees in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Global Health and Population at Harvard Chan School.
The Quest for Environmental and Climate Justice:The 2nd Annual Donald Hopkins Scholars Lecture
February 1 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm | Register Here
Every day, poor people and communities of color contend with disproportionate health risks due to toxic exposures. Robert Bullard, dubbed the “father of environmental justice,” has spent more than five decades spotlighting this burden of pollution equal environmental protections. During the second annual Donald Hopkins Scholars Lecture, Dr. Bullard will explore the ways that justice, sustainability, and human rights are inextricably linked—and how ultimately, combating climate change and environmental degradation means fighting racism and seeking justice for our most vulnerable populations.
