ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE LEADERSHIP-IN-TRAINING (EJ-LIT): A University-Professional Organization Partnership for Preparing the Next Generation of Environmental Justice Leaders
Abstract
This contribution details the case of a partnership between the University of West Florida (UWF), the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Florida Brownfields Association in working with UWF students to address the environmental justice concerns of the predominantly African-American community of North Port St. Joe, FL between December 2020 and March 2022. This case study outlines the events that catalyzed this collaboration, and the roles played by, and benefits accrued to each involved stakeholder. The case study concludes with lessons learned from such collaboration for higher education-professional organization-community partnerships and the Planning Accreditation Board standards this case study addresses.
