Environmental Justice and Precaution: Reimagining Public Risk Representation

Abstract

In this study, I consider how public participants respond to institutionalized representations of environmental risk related to fracking. I am particularly interested in moments where participants, reporting marginalization when they attempt to understand or represent risk through environmental regulatory institutions, find or attempt to find agency to shift discussion points about environmental risk.
