Climate Justice, Digital Media, and Gender
Professor Frances Roberts-Gregory
Reflection 3
The authors of both articles " The Diversity in Environmental Organizations" and " Ghostbusters in Environmentalism: Black Women (re)shaping Environmental Justice" would agree that there is a need for people of color need to be in more leadership roles in environmental organizations. The author of " Ghostbusters in Environmentalism: Black Women (re)shaping Environmental Justice" talks about the lack of citation for black feminist women's work in mainstream environmental organizations. The author of " The Diversity in Environmental Organizations" talks about the statistics, which proves the reality of a lack of leadership roles of mainstream environmental organizations going to people of color. Both authors uncover the myths behind environmental organizations leadership and diversity. Currently, we are experiencing a lack of people of color in leadership roles throughout mainstream environmental organizations.
These articles made me feel empowered because they have more people than me that is doing environmental justice work. I was relieved to find out that someone was able to analyze both racial and gender diversity from multiple lenses. This is because people use the word diversity lightly and don't actually define diversity. Also, people giving acknowledgments to the black feminist that were doing environmental work before them was satisfying. I also appreciate being given a list of these black feminist so that I can cite them when debating. These articles were satisfying to read.
