Lacee Satcher--a recently hired assistant professor who teaches in the Environmental Studies program--was featured this past week in an article posted on the Boston College news webpage. In the article, it describes her research into multiply-deserted areas (MDAs)--neighborhoods that have a shortage of multiple social, economic, and health-related resources. Professor Satcher's dissertation "(Un)Just Deserts: Examining the Consequences of Economic, Social and Environmental Disinvestment in the Urban South" advances the mission of the Environmental Studies program in investigating and exploring solutions to environmental racism and inequality.
