Mijin says about herself:
I research and write about climate and environmental justice, just transition– how to transition to a carbon-free economy in a way that protects workers and communities, labor/climate coalitions, and the relationship between inequality and the climate crisis. Currently, I am an assistant professor in the environmental studies department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, affiliate faculty in the legal studies department, and on the Faculty Advisory Board at the UCSC Center for Labor and Community. I am also a Fellow at Cornell University’s Climate Jobs Institute. My community-engaged service includes the Board of Greenpeace USA Fund and Emeritus Board at the Center on Race, Poverty, and the Environment (CRPE).
