Fall 2007 lecture series welcomes noted scholar.

In 2006, the Ford Foundation awarded a $233,000 grant to Syracuse University's Department of African American Studies (AAS) to support continued development of its focus on gender and environmental justice.

Aptly titled Gender and Environmental Justice, this ambitious and pioneering project will grow and develop two significant core components of the AAS curriculum, and will serve to explore the intersection between gender and environmental justice.

Through a variety of activities, the Gender and Environmental Justice Project will help make AAS a center of excellence in environmental justice and Black feminist scholarship, and will enable it to serve as a model and inspiration for other Africana Studies departments.

The Department of African American Studies (AAS) is housed in Syracuse University's College of Arts and Science. It is the only department of its kind in the nation to recognize the importance of environmental justice in its curriculum.
