Thurs. Oct 15, 2015 @ 7pm
Ondaatje Hall, Marion McCain Building. Dalhousie
Dr. Ingrid Waldron is an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at Dalhousie, a sociologist and the principal investigator for the Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (ENRICH). This community-based, policy-relevant project is looking at the socio-economic and health effects of environmental racism in African Nova Scotian and Mi’kmaw communities. Since its inception in 2012, ENRICH has used research, policy development, community mobilizing and public education to mobilize the diverse community on this issue. The project formed the basis to Bill 111: An Act to Address Environmental Racism in Nova Scotia, which was introduced at the Nova Scotia Legislature on April 29, 2015.
