The Steve Wing International Environmental Justice Award is presented annually to an academic who has notably and consistently used their academic discipline toward advancing Environmental Justice, especially through activism in the United States and/or abroad. Recipients are recognized for their activist contributions and their occupational and academic achievements.The recipient of the SWIEJ Award should be a person who has consistently used their scholarship and activism to achieve Environmental Justice. The individual is primarily honored as an activist, rather than as a function of his or her place of employment or academic achievements alone.
