Jill Lindsey Harrison has expertise in environmental justice, environmental politics, agriculture and food politics, and immigration politics. Her research contributes unique insights into the cultural relations and political economic processes that disproportionately situate members of racially marginalized, Indigenous, and working-class communities in dangerous spaces and precarious conditions that contribute to inequalities in life opportunity, illness, and death. She also identifies ways the state, social movements, and other institutions can more effectively redress those inequalities. She has done so through various cases of environmental and workplace inequality in the contemporary United States.
