Placemaking as a practice
tbrelagePlace-making practices refer to the ways in which people create and define physical spaces as meaningful and significant through their everyday activities and social interactions.[1] In Ethnography, the study of these practices is often referred to as ‘ethnography as place-making,’ which involves the exploration of the cultural meanings and practices that shape the physical and social environments in which people live. This can include examining how people create and maintain social boundaries, how they express their identities and values through the built environment,[2] and how they negotiate power and control over the spaces they inhabit.
This place in Gröpelingen is made a place through the interaction of the people tending to the urban gardening project.

PS: SJV pesticides: intersecting injustices
prerna_srigyan1. data injustice: the Cerda family did not have access to the data linking chlorpyrifos as a neurotoxin.
2. economic injustice: the Cerda family are agricultural workers and are exposed to pesticides like chlorpyrifos on a regular basis. Rafael Cerda's developmental disabilities will present barriers in economic and overall well-being.
3. epistemic injustice: Cerda family's complaints and allegations are not being considered by the pesticide manufacturers and sprayers
4. health injustice: Rafael Cerda's disabilities are a direct result of his in-utero and natal chlorpyrifos exposure
5. intergenerational injustice: Rafael Cerda's disabilities were caused in-utero as his mother was exposed to large amounts while she was pregnant with him.
6. media injustice: inadequate attention to the extent of harm this pesticide can cause
7. procedural injustice: ongoing lawsuit, result not yet known
8. racial injustice: the affected are Latino/a agricultural workers
9. reproductive injustice: exposure to Chlropyrifos in-utero
Disproportionate Impacts
gracefineIn my opinion, something that is ethically wrong with this case is the fact that much of the pollution coming from biomass factories like Enviva are disproportionately affecting Black and Brown rural comminities. These communities experience health issues from the saw dust and can be seen cleaning sawdust off their outside belongings. It is important to see how much thes communities are impacted when looking at biomass corporations.

tamar.rogoszinskiWhile this study does not address vulnerable populations, per say, it does study cancer in patients under the age of 20, which can be considered a vulnerable population as they were young when the disaster occurred.

Sara_NesheiwatThe study addresses vulnerable populations by initially focusing on youths that were in the vicinity of the Fukushima disaster at the time of the event. These subjects are vulnerable due to their proximity to the nuclear disaster, but also due to their age and the fact that they are still developing, causing them to be at more risk.
