EJ Philly, Episode 1: Feeling the Heat The Canopy from Penn Program in Environmental Humanities
-
- Society & Culture
This episode of EJ Philly focuses on how climate change and inequality affect the creation of heat islands in urban spaces. We hear from multiple perspectives – a physician researching heat’s effect on health, a program manager impacting policy in the city’s Office of Sustainability, and community leaders and activists confronting heat islands. Through these conversations, we hope listeners come away with an understanding of how the built environment impacts extreme heat, its inequitable impacts on different communities, and current approaches to cool down the city’s neighborhoods.

The conversations with Meeka Outlaw (Independence Mission Schools), Gabriella Paez (Nueva Esperanza Inc.), Sameed Khatana (University of Pennsylvania), and Korin Tangtrakul (Office of Sustainability) were facilitated and recorded by Karishma Lachhwani and Tom Statchen and were produced by Jasmine Erdener. Karishma Lachhwani and Tom Statchen wrote the script. Dr. Kristina Lyons and Dr. Marilyn Howarth provided editorial direction for the podcast series. Campbell Knobloch served as the managing editor.
