Regulatory Enforcement, Riskscapes and Environmental Justice

Growing evidence suggests that poor and minority communities are relatively more vulnerable to environmental pollution. Indiana Unviersity's David Konisky will speak at Duke University on "Regulatory Enforcement, Riskscapes and Environmental Justice," 10-11:30 a.m. March 4 in LSRC A247.

Konisky will discuss his research, finding that state regulatory agencies pursue a mixture of instrumental and political enforcement but that these tactics are applied unevenly across traditional environmental justice communities.

This talk is part of the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and the University Program in Environmental Policy seminar series featuring leading experts discussing a variety of pressing environmentally focused topics.
