Ph.D. Student, San Diego State & UC Santa Barbara
I am an incoming first year Ph.D. student in a Geography joint program at San Diego State University and UC Santa Barbara. I am interested in studying GIScience, environmental, and human geography. Specifically, I am interested in using David Pellow’s Environmental Justice framework, to document similar case studies. My proposed dissertation aims to use geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial statistics to create a map of the unequal impacts of environmental pollution within ethnic minorities, people of color, and low-income communities using a mixed-method approach.
