This project was developed by students at the University of Texas - Austin in partnership with People Organized in the Defense of Earth and her Resources (PODER), Zavala Elementary School, and American Youth Works. Our goal was to build a community-university partnership to assist in the struggle for environmental justice in Austin. The project included collaborative development of research methodologies to investigate environmental hazards facing children in the East Austin neighborhoods. We also documented children’s perceptions and knowledge of their environment in various formats for different audiences, including Web-based interactive mapping products, posters, and reports. The partnership and the project are still evolving and the data presented in this website are the preliminary results of initial pilot studies.
