“Remember, we don't have race categories here”: contradictions and reflections on racism, environment, and health from an interview study among Black German researchers, educators, and care providers

Interview participants identified pathways toward more effective research and policy initiatives on racism, environmental justice, community health and environmental heath equity in Germany including: collecting better data that is informed by structural theories of race/racialization and power; addressing history and national narratives; supporting more community-based participatory action research; engaging with existing civil society and non-governmental organizations that serve and advocate on behalf of minoritized communities; and building upon past and present progressive social movements.
