Welcome to Communicating Care, a podcast of the Just Transition Collaborative at the University of Colorado Boulder where we talk about the ways environmental and climate justice advocacy are motivated by, express, and foster care. On this podcast, we listen more deeply to people who have made headlines for making a difference to learn from their insights for successful creative climate communication and behavior change.
I'm the host, Professor Phaedra Carmen Pezzullo and, today, our guest is Dr. David Naguib Pellow, the Dehlsen and Department Chair of Environmental Studies and Director of the Global Environmental Justice Project at the University of California Santa Barbara. Professor Pellow has served on the Board of Directors of several community-based national and international organizations dedicated to improving the living and working environments for People of Color, immigrants, Indigenous peoples, and working-class communities, including the Global Action Research Center, the Center for Urban Transformation, Greenpeace USA, and International Rivers. He earned his B.A. in Sociology and Religious Studies at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, and he earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University. To say Professor Pellow is prolific is an understatement. He has coedited 3 books and authored or coauthored 8 more—not to mention all his articles, chapters, and advocacy reports.
