What can Nova Scotian, Canadian and American community members, professors, researchers, students, policymakers, environmental organizations and activists, and NGO professionals learn from one another about using research, policy, and community activism to address the social, economic and health impacts of the relationship between race, place and the environment in Indigenous and Black communities?
