Ros Donald studies how we talk about climate change, examining how environmental injustices shape today’s climate debate. She is particularly interested in how environmental ideas have intersected with segregation, as well as mechanisms for accountability that tackle environmental injustices. She is an associate director of American University’s Center for Environmental Filmmaking and a board member of the environmental investigative journalism website DeSmog. Her book project, “Greenlining”, under contract with Columbia University Press, digs into the battle for environmental and climate justice in Miami since the New Deal.
