As you collected individual memory maps for the project, what was something that impacted and/or stuck with you?
Something that stuck to me was my participants’ ability to create and explore something very specifically with such a broad idea. For example, one of my participants included a drawing of a grapefruit tree in her map. She explained the story behind this, and told me how it was a unique tree particular to the west side of San Antonio, and how it used to provide fruit to the community but has slowly been dying out due to the occasional flooding that happens in the San Antonio area.

How has your knowledge on environmental and climate justice grown as a result of the internship
My knowledge of environmental justice has grown exponentially as a result of this internship. In my major Urban Studies specifically, I am finding links in topics of social justice that I wouldn’t have made a connection with before. There are some key events in the ECJ movement that have been mentioned briefly in some of my urban studies classes of which I have a more in-depth understanding.
