1 Search the term environmental justice on the Internet, and see what you turn up. How visible is the EJ frame in cyberspace, and what do you learn from this?

2 Identify an EJ issue or event (preferably local), and analyze the effects of the framing of that issue. Do you see any evidence of a counterframe?

3 The way we construct meaning shapes how (and whether) we participate in social movements. Think about your own identity. Can you “see” yourself taking part in a protest action, for example, a march? If so, why? If not, why not?

4 Framing includes how we interpret everything—“nature,” our bodies, race, gender, who/what we consider to be “other,” and much more. Based on your own identity and, thus, interpretations, where do you draw the line and start feeling uncomfortable?

5 Social media has become an important part of the EJ movement. A recent strategy has been to post Indigenous names on Instagram during hikes in outdoor recreational areas, calling attention to the missing Indigenous history (https://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/affordable-housing/posting-your-hike-on-instagram-now-you-can-tag-your-locations-indigenous-name-20180523). What is your response to this? What are some other ways that technology could be used creatively for EJ?

I thank Samantha Lewis for her assistance with bibliographical research on environmental justice. Any quotes are from my own interviews unless otherwise attributed. I dedicate this to all who make EJ possible.
