Episode 55 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!

It's called: “Sacrifice Zones, Slow Violence, and Pushing Back against Chemical Pollution."

It features a conversation with Noah Theriault, Ph.D.

Noah is an associate professor of anthropology in the Department of History at at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a political ecologist and specializes in how capitalism shapes social and environmental inequality.

You’ll hear Noah explore:

• How he sees toxic chemical pollution as "state-sanctioned violence" and environmental injustice.
• How marginalized and racialized communities are frequently exposed to toxic chemicals and the places they live become uninhabitable and what he calls “sacrifice zones.”
• How some communities are pushing back against toxic chemical pollution.

Thank you for listening!
