Please join us on Zoom (bit.ly/enst-seminars) or in person at ZHS 130 for the tenth seminar in our Environment & Sustainability Seminars series, hosted by the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies and the USC Environmental Studies Program.

This seminar will be this coming Tuesday, November 15th at 10AM, featuring Paulina Oliva of the USC Department of Economics and USC Spatial Sciences Institute on "The Distribution of Environmental Damages".

Oliva's research shows that high levels of air pollution can be especially lethal to vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries such as Mexico, China, India and Brazil. Her current research is taking a closer look at socioeconomic characteristics – education, access to healthcare, initial health status – to determine why these populations are more susceptible to the effects of air pollution. She aims to address the effectiveness of public policy at improving environmental outcomes and how low-income populations can benefit from these policies.

We look forward to seeing you there! ✌🌏
