Bio
Research Interests
Environmental justice is the driving force of Monica Haddad scholarship. Dr. Haddad's research has followed four related themes: social justice, social development, environmental planning, and economic development. Because of the applied nature of her research, she usually develops case studies located in Brazil and the U.S. When working on these multiple themes, she always connects her research projects with policy-making processes to shed light on possible strategies for greater environmental justice.
