Abstract/Artist's Statement

Citizen science is an inclusionary reframing of the scientific process. Citizen science uses lived experience as an input to inform the research done by flexible institutions. In an ever changing global environment, citizen science as a way to generate data about environmental science is gaining recognition as a valuable tool. In the study of air quality, citizen scientist advocacy is transforming the way environmental protections are viewed beyond just resource conservation. Issues of air quality are vast, and the nature of the resource poses considerable difficulties around ensuring clean air access through policy. This project specifically looks at the Hudson Valley Air Quality Coalition as a case study illustrative of what the citizen science process looks like in the context of the Hudson Valley community, made distinct through a focus on issues of air pollution.
