Asst Professor @miriamcsolis was recently awarded an Early Career Research Fellowship from @theNASEM's @NASEM_Gulf Program. With the funds, she aims to advance #environmentaljustice in the Rio Grande Valley by engaging youth in the planning of local parks https://t.co/uZwmtWqmGI
Check out @miriamcsolis's work with @AustinCityParks@AmerYouthWorks Austin Civilian Conservation Corps on a Photovoice Exhibition. This work is part of a larger green jobs study by @UTSOA's Michael Oden. The report will be made available in late June.

In the US, “child protection” means taking children away from struggling families, not ensuring housing, food & health care or safety from violence. It is state violence against children. We need to radically reimagine a society safe for children & how to collectively create it.
I LOVED working on this project and am grateful to all participants. Important critiques of conservation work emerged, as well as actionable ideas on better ways forward.
Downtown this week? Check out the @AustinCityParks@AmerYouthWorks Austin Civilian Conservation Corps Photovoice exhibit on display at City Hall. Curated by students in @miriamcsolis' planning practicum, the work explores the state of green jobs in Austin
