Reverend Vernon K. Walker (STH’16) Publishes Article on “Envisioning a Greener Future”
The following is an excerpt from the Climate Policy Lab article “Envisioning a Greener Future: Transforming VoTech Education through Environmental Justice” by Reverend Vernon K. Walker, published on January 11, 2024.
“In the summer of 2023, as part of a groundbreaking research project at Tufts University, I embarked on a mission to weave environmental justice into the fabric of vocational technical (VoTech) education. The urgency of climate change and the evolving job market demands a new approach to vocational training – one that embraces sustainability and equity. Thanks to the Tufts CREATE Fellowship, my team and I were empowered to conduct an interdisciplinary study that could potentially reshape vocational education for future generations.”
