TITLE: Sustainability and social justice

ABSTRACT: Sustainability for the Forgotten is an incendiary book that confronts the history, policies, and practices of sustainability. With examples that range from the coffee lands of El Salvador to the coal country of American Appalachia, from the streets of Detroit to refugee camps in Greece and the upscale metro centers of the affluent, sustainability is examined with a critical eye and an emphasis on ensuring that the forgotten are heard.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Gary E. Machlis is University Professor of Environmental Sustainability at Clemson University. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and member of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability and its Board on Environmental Change and Society. He has written widely on issues of conservation, science policy, and sustainability.
