Wake Forest University has been awarded a $1 million grant for a project focusing on environmental justice. The grant from the Mellon Foundation will support the creation of a model program for teaching issues related to climate change and environmental justice. The three-year effort will be led by Wake Forest Professor of Humanities Corey D.B. Walker. Walker says the idea is to bring together educators, public officials, and community members to develop a new curriculum.
