Environmental justice and public participation: law matters. A conference by Professor Maria Lee.

Описание: Professor Maria Lee, guest speaker of our Jean Monnet Centre EUqualis and of Prof. Chiara Armeni, explores on this lecture various dimensions of environmental and ecological justice, and the ways in which legally protected rights to participate in environmental decision-making support those striving for environmental justice. Professor Lee argues that the ways in which environmental justice draws attention to marginalised human voices helps us to think critically about both the limitations and the potential of law on public participation. Law matters, taking us beyond the goodwill of those with power.

Professor Lee’s visit is part of a series of guest lectures organised in the framework of the #EUqualis Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence (ERASMUS-JMO-2021-HEI-TCH-RSCH) hosted by the IEE. Professor Lee is a guest of Prof. Chiara Armeni (Centre for European Law, IEE).
