108 – Examining Environmental Racism w/ Nadia Y. Kim

Southpaw

We brought back sociologist and activist-scholar, professor Nadia Kim (episode 31) to talk to us about environmental racism and what that means to communities of color locally and for the Global South.

"When we think of climate justice, we think of it as something out there happening to nature. No. We have to understand that people in the Global South and communities of color in our own urban centers suffer the most from climate catastrophes. We have to make that connection."
