Congratulations to Dr. Laura Pulido –
2022 AAG Distinguished Scholarship Honors

“The 2022 AAG Distinguished Scholarship Award is awarded to Laura Pulido for her foundational and sustained contributions in environmental justice and Latinx geographies and to human geography more broadly. Pulido’s sustained works have been recognized with the AAG’s highest book awards for A People’s Guide to Los Angeles; Development Drowned and Reborn (by Clyde Woods, co-edited with Jordan T. Camp); and Black, Brown Yellow and Left: Radical activism in Los Angeles. Her foundational article on “Rethinking Environmental Racism: White privilege and urban development in Southern California” remains one of the most cited articles in the Annals of the AAG for its clear and accessible call to move from individuals to a structural understanding of environmental racism.” Source: AAG (read more)
