A dissertation submitted by Rebecca Jill Mandell in 2016, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Health Behavior and Health Education) in the University of Michigan.
Abstract: Cross-movement collaboration is emerging amongst advocates at the intersection of environmental justice (EJ) and reproductive justice (RJ) to protect communities of color,
Indigenous, and low-income communities from toxicants harmful to reproductive health. Little research exists on this intersection, and on cross-movement collaborations in general. This study examined the collective action frames (CAFs) of advocates at the EJ/RJ intersection. CAFs highlight how advocates identify problems and solutions, and motivate people to take action.
