At The Casino at Roger Williams Park

Join us for our new series, Community Conversations.  For our first conversation, we’ll host Bryce Dubois, an environmental psychologist and RWP friend and neighbor.  Join us for a presentation and discussion about how our environment impacts our perspective and physical and mental well-being, and how we can use this knowledge in our day-to-day lives.

About our guest speaker:

Bryce DuBois holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Psychology and an MA in Clinical Psychology. As an interdisciplinary social scientist, he combines the anthropology of space and place, urban political ecology, urban studies, urban environmental education, and environmental justice studies to investigate the politics of public spaces, especially beaches and other waterscapes. DuBois has published extensively on these topics and is currently an co-investigator on an action research project focused on coastal access in Narragansett Bay as a food justice issue for ethnically and racially minoritized people, he is a collaborator on the Blackstone River Commons project, and leads a long-term ethnographic project on the racialization of Rockaway Beach following Superstorm Sandy; a chapter of which will be included in the forthcoming book Beach Politics: Social, Racial, and Environmental Injustice on the Shoreline (NYU Press, edited by Setha Low), set to be published in late summer 2024.
