I am beyond thrilled to share our new paper in Science today, "The ecological and evolutionary consequences of systemic racism in urban environments". #urbanecology #BlackLivesMatter @aaas @BEcologists @BlackAFinSTEM @uwearthlab @UWEnvironment @uwtacoma science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
Written with an awesome team of co-authors, @MaxRLambert @_kdyson @fuetra88 @DrSimoneDr @technodowser @danica_miller and Nyeema Harris, we explore in detail how government-sponsored racism and classism, through redlining, displacement, etc., impact eco-evo processes
We make a call to action to the scientific and global community alike to address, reconcile, and interrogate systemic racism, classism, sexism, Indigenous rights, etc., because these forms of structural violence are devastating the natural world washington.edu/news/2020/08/1…
I cannot express how proud, honored, and thankful I am for us to have a platform to write and present this for you all. As science activists, we are excited to initiate a long overdue conversation.
