Dr. Bullard will speak on Building Just and Sustainable Communities in the Era of Climate Change, a reflection of his dedication to and passion for the intersectionality of social justice, the environment, human health, racial equity, and urban planning.

Bullard is the Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning and Environmental Policy at Texas Southern University, co-founder of the HBCU Climate Change Consortium and an award-winning author of 18 books on race, equity and environmental justice. He was one of the organizers of the first National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in 1991.
