As part of the University of California Santa Barbara’s Mellichamp Chairs in Racial Environmental Justice faculty cluster, UCSB’s Environmental Studies Program seeks to hire a Mellichamp Chair in Racially Just, Resilient and Sustainable City Futures. The ideal scholar will be a faculty member who engages environmental and/or climate justice challenges through a focus on racially just, resilient, and sustainable city futures. By 2050, 70% of all people will live in urban environments, driving important environmental changes and transforming the way that human society interacts with its environment. At the same time, urban settings highlight striking inequalities, including access to a clean environment and resilience to environmental disruptions: disadvantaged and racially diverse communities in the world’s cities are often exposed to higher levels of pollution and climate disruption and have insufficient resources to mitigate environmental stressors.
