Cutts, Bethany B. Greenlee, Andrew J. Nigrelli, Caitlin van Riper, Carena J. Hornik, Kaitlyn Elise Tiegs 2017-03-01T15:17:08Z 2017-03-01T15:17:08Z 2016-12-09 2016-12 Environmental justice and sustainability are two critically important goals often prioritized by NGOs, planners, government agencies, and grassroots groups. Although complementary, these two bodies of literature are rarely integrated. This thesis examines the barriers that have impeded greater cohesion of environmental justice and sustainability efforts. To do this, I drew on community-based participatory research methods to elicit stakeholder perspectives on a local waterway remediation project in Milwaukee, WI. The objectives of my thesis were twofold: 1) conduct interviews to understand stakeholders’ definitions of injustice, as well as views on how injustice was created and can be remedied; and 2) discover the challenges and ethical dilemmas of community-based participatory research methods to increase the likelihood of win-win scenarios for communities, practitioners, and researchers. To understand how urban sustainability efforts were divisive and/or brought environmental justice and sustainability initiatives to the fore, I used a theoretical lens grounded in a theory of change. This enabled a critical and reflexive research process for overcoming hurdles and benefiting stakeholders and the ecosystems on which they rely.
