Visualizing Environmental Racism to Raise Public Awareness

Abstract

This research project highlights the vital role of visualization in disseminating research findings on environmental racism as an interdisciplinary issue that brings together diverse fields such as environmental studies, critical race studies, and public health. Since increasing access to research on environmental racism is essential for raising public awareness, this project translates articles on this topic into cartoons, proposing this form of visual art as an effective medium for communicating research findings to a wider audience.
