Placing Environmental Justice and Opportunity in Rural California Jonathan K. London, University of California, Davis
Jonathan London is an Assistant Professor of Human and
Community Development at the University of California, Davis and
a Faculty Affiliate of the UC Davis Center for Poverty Research.
His research addresses conflicts and collaboration in natural
resource and environmental issues, specifically on marginalized
rural communities and environmental justice issues in the Sierra
Nevada and the Central Valley.
In November 2014, the Center hosted the conference “Poverty and
Place,” which focused on the implications of geography and
population density have for poverty. This conference brought
together a unique mix of researchers, policy professionals and
industry leaders to discuss their work studying the people,
geography, and the safety net as it relates to persistent
poverty.
