Research in Progress Lunch on Wednesday, April 4

Dear All,

Please join us at 12pm for the Research in Progress (RIP) Lunchtime discussion on Wednesday, April 4th, 2012!

Come out, have lunch, and learn about:

“Environmental Justice and Complexity: Using Agent-Based Models for Environmental Policy and Planning"

While the problem of the unequal distribution of environmental risk across the socioeconomic spectrum is widely acknowledged, there is no such clarity with respect to the cause of the phenomenon. In this stream of research, we recognize the validity of different theoretical perspectives and the complexity of social and urban dynamics through the development of an agent-based simulation model. Using the model, we are exploring the social circumstances under which environmental justice issues emerge and the policies that may be useful for addressing this complex, dynamic problem.
