Sustain
“Sustainability” has become quite the buzz word, evoking images of solar panels, rooftop gardens, and recycling bins. But too rarely do we ask the question: How do we build the world we want to sustain for future generations? From the University of Utah's Sustainability Office comes Sustain, a podcast that highlights environmental justice research and scholarship by the University of Utah community. Podcast host Maria Archibald sits down with U faculty and students to learn how the sustainability movement can build and sustain a world in which environmental integrity, social equity, and economic security prosper. New episodes will be released monthly.

Sustain's Maria Archibald is joined by Dr. Sara Grineski, professor of Sociology, to discuss socioeconomic disparities in environmental health. "Racial capitalism is also a fundamental cause of disease," says Grineski. Her research explores the links between socio-economic status and air pollution, and the consequences for respiratory and brain health.
