Project Title
Archiving Waste: Community Histories of Race and Environmental Justice in Nashville
Project Summary

Tasha Rijke-Epstein is collaborating with Professor David Padgett, a geographer at Tennessee State University, to create a digital archive that illuminates the connection between Nashville’s environmental history and systemic racism. Rijke-Epstein and Padgett will work with local community organizations to train residents of neighborhoods that have been affected by environmental racism in oral history methodology, and the resulting oral histories will be collected on an online platform alongside digitized documents and an interactive storymap. The digital archive will serve as a foundation for a series of public conversations at local libraries and the creation of curricular materials.
