Siobhain Lash

In December 2022, Siobhain received her PhD from Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, in Philosophy. Her dissertation title was, “Popular Environmental Justice Questions: A Philosophy Evaluation,” and covered topics like compensation post-natural disaster, urban greening projects and the need for collaborative efforts, and combined applied philosophy, community-engaged scholarship, and philosophy, politics, and economics to help answer pressing environmental justice questions. Most recently, Siobhian published Public Philosophy Journal’s first children’s book on environmental justice, titled, “Exploring Environmental Justice Year Round in the Greater New Orleans Area.” In the book, she teaches fundamental environmental justice concepts to both children and their parents that also contains a guide on how to start thinking about environmental justice concepts. In addition, her article, “Civic Associations and Polycentric Approaches to Environmental Justice in Louisiana” was recently published in Constitutional Political Economy. Further, her article, “The Green and Gray of Urban Renewal” is forthcoming in the Environmental Ethics textbook through Oxford University Press.
