Marginalized communities lack full participation in social, economic, and political life, and they disproportionately bear the burden of environmental and health risks. This special issue of Environmental Engineering Science, the official journal of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP), reports research on the unique environmental challenges faced by historically marginalized communities around the world. The results of community-based participatory research with an Afro-descendant community in Columbia, Native American communities in Alaska, United States, villagers in the Philippines, disadvantaged communities in California, United States, rural communities in Mexico and Costa Rica, homeless encampments in the San Diego River (United States) watershed entrepreneurs in Durban, South Africa, and remote communities in the island nation of Fiji are presented. The research reported in this special issue is transdisciplinary, bringing engineers together with anthropologists, sociologists, economists, and public health experts. In the 13 articles in this special issue, some of the topics covered include inexpensive technologies for water treatment, novel agricultural strategies for reversing biodiversity losses, and strategies for climate change adaptation. In addition, one article covered educational strategies for teaching ethics to prepare students for humanitarian engineering, including topics of poverty, sustainability, social justice, and engineering decisions under uncertainty. Finally, an article presented ways that environmental engineering professors can engage and promote the success of underrepresented minority students and enable faculty engaged in community-based participatory research.

具有历史边缘社区的全球环境工程

边缘化社区缺乏对社会,经济和政治生活的充分参与,他们不成比例地承担着环境和健康风险的重担。本期《环境工程科学》,环境工程与科学教授协会(AEESP)的官方杂志,报道了有关全球历史上边缘化社区所面临的独特环境挑战的研究。基于社区的参与性研究的结果,其中包括哥伦比亚的一个非裔后裔社区,美国阿拉斯加的美洲原住民社区,菲律宾的村民,加利福尼亚州的美国处境不利的社区,墨西哥和哥斯达黎加的农村社区,墨西哥的无家可归者营地介绍了南非德班的圣地亚哥河(美国)分水岭企业家以及岛国斐济的偏远社区。本期特刊中报​​道的研究是跨学科的,使工程师与人类学家,社会学家,经济学家和公共卫生专家一起走到了一起。在本期特刊的13篇文章中,涉及的主题包括廉价的水处理技术,逆转生物多样性丧失的新颖农业策略以及适应气候变化的策略。此外,一篇文章涵盖了道德教育的教育策略,以帮助学生为人道主义工程学做准备,其中包括贫困,可持续性,社会正义和不确定性条件下的工程决策等主题。最后,一篇文章介绍了环境工程教授如何参与和促进代表性不足的少数民族学生的成功,并使教师参与基于社区的参与性研究的方法。逆转生物多样性丧失的新颖农业战略以及适应气候变化的战略。此外,一篇文章涵盖了道德教育的教育策略,以帮助学生为人道主义工程学做准备,其中包括贫困,可持续性,社会正义和不确定性条件下的工程决策等主题。最后,一篇文章介绍了环境工程教授如何参与和促进代表性不足的少数民族学生的成功,并使教师参与基于社区的参与性研究的方法。逆转生物多样性丧失的新颖农业战略以及适应气候变化的战略。此外,一篇文章涵盖了道德教育的教育策略,以帮助学生为人道主义工程学做准备,其中包括贫困,可持续性,社会正义和不确定性条件下的工程决策等主题。最后,一篇文章介绍了环境工程教授如何参与和促进代表性不足的少数民族学生的成功,并使教师参与基于社区的参与性研究的方法。
