Abstract Details

2020, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, Sociology.
This study explores environmental justice at the point where it intersects with public policy and practices regarding Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) justice through analysis of social movement building in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This research helps to better understand the interaction between LGBTQ and environmental movements and determine how social movement organizations (SMOs) within these movements can work more collaboratively to promote their shared political and social reform objectives. This research was conducted by analyzing semi-structured interviews of 22 representatives of SMOs that work in political advocacy and community engagement focusing on environmental or LGBTQ issues in each country to provide a more holistic understanding of the relationship between the two movements. Through open-ended questions and in-depth conversations, the interviews provide insight on the political opportunity structures that exist in each country for the two movements and inform directions for future research.
