SIS Department of Environment, Development & Health

The SIS Department of Environment, Development, and Health (EDH) defends and cares for life on Earth through research, teaching, advocacy, and policy. In the face of the most urgent challenges of our time, we harness rigorous research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community-based engagement to craft solutions and strategies for meaningful change.

Our work proceeds from three commitments: efforts to address environmental harm and the climate crisis must also consider economic inequalities, racial and gender injustices, and changing patterns of disease; ending poverty requires attention to the climate crisis, ecosystem integrity, and human health; and health problems are often driven by environmental pathologies, violence, and poverty.

If you want to dedicate your career to addressing poverty, health and technological disparities, and environmental and climate injustices — join us.
