This spring we are offering a series of posts on the topic of Environmental Justice and Environmental Health. The series is organized in conjunction with a set of talks at the University of Oklahoma, presented by the OU Health Sciences Center Environmental and Sustainable Health Interest Group, and the OU College of Arts and Sciences Environmental Studies Program, Public and Community Health Program, and the Center for Social Justice. We are posting videos of the talks, along with posts related to them.

Our current installment concerns crafting policy. Today we present the talk given last week by Joe Nation, Professor of the Practice of Public Policy at Stanford University, based on his experience as a state legislator in California. Next week Robert Lifset will offer a post on climate policy.
