Director of Harlem Environmental Action to Address Advancing Climate Change11:14AM / Tuesday, March 10, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Cecil Corbin-Mark, director of policy initiatives at the West Harlem Environmental Action (WeACT), will give a lecture titled "Advancing Climate Justice: A Carbon Charge - The Change We Need" on Tuesday, March 10, at 8 p.m. in the 1964 classroom (basement) of Hopkins Hall.
Corbin-Mark works to alleviate unequal environmental burdens placed on minority populations. He argues that two of the biggest environmental issues today, solid waste management and air pollution, disparately trouble minority areas, such as his native Harlem.
Born and raised in Harlem, Corbin-Mark has been involved in several community-based environmental projects. As chair of the Landmarks Preservation Committee, he organized the Harlem on the River Project, which helped develop a vision for the Harlem Piers area on the Hudson River.
Corbin-Mark has served on a number of other boards and coalitions, including the Center for Environmental Health, the Environmental Justice Fund, and the NYC Environmental Education Advisory Council.
Corbin-Mark frequently works with formerly incarcerated youth and serves as a big brother to youth in his neighborhood.
Corbin-Mark received his bachelor's degree from Hunter College and his graduate degree from Oxford University, where he studied political traditions of Africans of the Diasporas in the Americas. He has lectured at the Yale School of Forestry and the Columbia University School of Public Health.
WeACT is a non-profit organization aimed at building community support for preserving environmental quality and fighting environmental racism. |
