Rutgers University–Newark’s Humanities Action Lab (HAL) has been awarded a $498,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to support its Climates of Inequality (COI) Discussions initiative, a two-year program to drive humanities-based conversations across the country led by “frontline” or “environmental justice” communities—those bearing the greatest burdens from climate change due to long histories of environmental racism.
