New Horizons Conference Highlights Challenges, Emerging Voices, and Reasons for Optimism in Environmental Justice

Wednesday, April 21, 2021

When Professor of Environmental Justice Dr. Dorceta Taylor ’85 MFS, ’91 PhD returned to the Yale School of the Environment (YSE) last summer, she arrived as an authority on environmental justice, bringing experience and expertise that energized the entire YSE community. 
 
That momentum continued this week at the New Horizons in Conservation Conference, an annual gathering of emerging environmental leaders who are historically underrepresented in the environmental field and/or committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in the field. The conference, organized by Yale’s Justice, Equity, Diversity and Sustainability Initiative, provided an opportunity to network, attend workshops, and learn from leaders in the environmental field.
