In this episode of Talking Environment, host Gevorg Ghazaryan speaks with Dr. Gwen Ottinger, Professor at Drexel University, whose work spans environmental justice, science and technology studies, and citizen science. Together, they explore the politics of environmental knowledge, who produces it, who benefits from it, and how communities are challenging traditional power structures through technology and data.
From community-led air monitoring to the ethical design of environmental technologies, this conversation dives deep into how science and justice intersect and how new forms of participation are reshaping both research and policy.
If you’ve ever asked, “Who gets to define the problem?” or “Whose knowledge counts?”, this episode is for you.
