To conclude a successful semester of her new course Anthropology in Action for Health and Environmental Justice, Professor Keri Brondo held an Environmental Justice Gallery Walk featuring students in Programs in Anthropology and other programs across TC. Students presented their multimodal final research projects in the form of posters, zines, and videos. We are excited to share some of the work of Professor Brondo's students below.

Fernando Pimentel, M.A. student in Anthropology & Education, focused his research on Columbia University's land acknowledgement practices. Through interviews with peers and examining signage around campus, Fernando explored the effectiveness of current practices. Fernando presented his research as a handmade zine, using his artistic abilities to convey anthropological research in an accessible format.

Fallon Campbell, Ph.D. student in Science Education, shared her project "Spatializing Inequality: Environmental Justice Patterns in the 2025 Harlem Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak." Fallon created an ArcGIS interactive map layering federal poverty rates, Legionnaires’ Disease incidence, and contaminated cooling tower locations. On the map, Fallon also included community responses from public town hall and interview records, showing the devastating impact of Legionnaries' on Harlem community members.

Deren Guler, M.A. student in Anthropology & Education, conducted research on spatial narratives, coast communities, and participatory mapping in Les Village, Bali. Deren explored "keeping maps alive" through online platforms that can be continuously updated, using spatial descriptions from locals to generate maps that reflect their lived experiences of the space.

Emily Forbes, Ph.D. student in Comparative & International Education, presented her research on environmental ethics, social network analysis, and TC's Center for Sustainable Futures.
