There's Something in the Water: A Panel on Environmental Racism in Nova Scotia

There's Something in the Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities is an award-winning book by Ingrid Waldron. The book inspired the 2019 film, There's Something in the Water, by Elliot Page and Ian Daniel, which is available for viewing on Netflix. Following the anticipated release of the film, St. Thomas University's School of Social Work's class, Organizing for Action with Diverse Groups, invited the public to join a panel discussion on environmental racism in Nova Scotia with the stars of the film on May 7, 2020. The panel discussion was supported by the NB Media Co-op and Fernwood. Dr. Ingrid Waldron is a sociologist and author of There's Something in the Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities, Director of Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (ENRICH) and Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at Dalhousie University. Dr. Waldron’s scholarship is driven by a long-standing interest in looking at the many ways in which spaces and places are organized by structures of colonialism and gendered racial capitalism.
