Title: Getting the goals right: Reparative justice through citizen science  

Date: February 9, 2023

Lecture Description

Professional scientists working on community-based research projects tend to focus on getting the science right. They’re thinking, perhaps, that the best thing they can offer communities confronting pollution or other environmental injustices is rigorous, iron-clad proof. On the contrary, I argue that too narrow a focus on proof can divert scientists from the more important potential of citizen science. Done well, it can repair relationships between frontline communities, polluters, regulators, and a polity that has found it all too easy to remain indifferent to local environmental harms. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research on community-initiated air monitoring at oil refinery fencelines, I give examples of how scientific investigation can reshape accountabilities, counter willful ignorance by the environmentally privileged, and restore hope to communities for whom abandonment has been the norm. I show how each of outcomes is integral to repairing the dysfunctional relationships that allow environmental injustice to flourish—even when a scientific study does not yield proof as such. Taking steps toward reparative justice should be the primary goal of environmental justice-oriented citizen science, I argue. A reparative justice orientation would redirect away from seeking proof for its own sake and toward creating long-term, collaborative practices of investigation.
