Description
This research poster, presented as part of an honors forum, explores the connections among social and environmental justice, science communication, and accessibility to clean water, beginning with the story of the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Working in pairs, students applied lessons from Anna Clark’s “The Poisoned City” to their choice of tests performed on water samples collected from locations they chose within an x km radius of Kansas City. Taken together, students’ work highlights the power of community action and engagement, equitable policy development, and the importance of community awareness.
