From College to Environmental Action: Forging Career Pathways in Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies after Incarceration

This panel brings together current members and alumni of the New Jersey Mountainview Program at Rutgers University who have pursued careers in a range of environmental science fields as returning citizens. Topics will include environmental justice and the significant impact of climate change and inequitable energy policies on the justice-impacted community; food insecurity and food injustice during and after incarceration; and the therapeutic experience of nature for formerly incarcerated individuals who have been deprived of experiencing the natural world. Panelists will engage both their personal experiences and academic expertise to discuss the relevance of environmental justice for formerly incarcerated individuals, as well as the important perspectives that currently and formerly scholars and activists bring to environmental studies.
