Environmental Justice in Mi'kmaq & African Nova Scotian Communities | Ingrid Waldron | TEDxMSVUWomen

Dr. Ingrid Waldron focuses on her journey leading the Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities and Community Health Project and the partners she has engaged along the way to address environmental racism in Nova Scotia through multi-disciplinary, intersectoral and intersectional approaches. Dr. Ingrid Waldron, is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health at Dalhousie University, the Director of the Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (The ENRICH Project), and the Team Lead for the Health of People of African Descent Research Cluster at the Healthy Populations Institute at Dalhousie University.
Ingrid’s scholarship is driven by a long-standing interest in looking at the many ways in which spaces and places are organized by structures of colonialism and gendered racial capitalism. The 2019 documentary There’s Something in the Water is based on Dr. Waldron’s book and was co-produced by Waldron, Ellen Page, and Ian Daniel. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Does the establishment of industries in formerly colonized countries by the West also come under environmental racism?

[@jennabourgeois7985]

Your perspective is sooo annoying. Don’t lump the Mi’kmaq and Maliseet into your narrative.

[@philliphardin7400]

So confused what's the narrative that separates the groups?

[@mathewscammell8876]

are you saying she was co-opting their views? I'm unsure what you're annoyed by
