Student Portal
The Black Midwest Justice Hub is a project of the Black Midwest Initiative. Currently, this digital platform is used to support the work of the BMI Environmental Justice Collaboratory, a cohort of instructors across the Midwest who are all teaching courses related to environmental justice during the 2026-27 academic year. The hub provides a wealth of resources to students and community members interested in learning more about environmental justice, including providing access to original digital content that will be made available throughout the year.
Collaboratory Courses
The BMI Environmental Justice Collaboratory is a cohort of 11 instructors from various colleges and universities across the Midwest who will teach environmental justice courses at their institutions during the 2026-27 academic year.
Here you will find information about each of the courses that is part of the Collaboratory.
Zines
In spring 2026, instructors at Michigan State University, University of Illinois Chicago, University of Iowa, and Macalester College worked with their students to develop zines broadly related to EJ issues.
Here you will find a sampling of their work.
