As a Laidlaw Scholar, I hope to not only develop my leadership and research skills this summer, but I also hope to create deeper relationships within my community in Los Angeles that I will be researching. Studying the toxic waste site that is the Santa Susana Field Lab, I really want to communicate with my neighbors, those I have existing relationships with and those I do not know yet. I hope my project creates increased community awareness and action plans to support environmental remediation. I am also excited to gain more GIS analysis skills that I can apply to other projects related to urban planning.

Hi! My name is Evin Schwartz and I am a second year student at Barnard College of Columbia University studying Urban Studies with a specialization in Urban Spatial Data Analysis and a combined major in Human Rights and a minor in Environmental Science. For my Laidlaw research project, I am using GIS to study childhood cancer clustering in the communities surrounding the Santa Susana Field Lab, a Superfund site I grew up on in Los Angeles.

I am Lilly E. Reiser and Diller Tikkun Olam Scholar and passionate about grassroots activism and educational equity. I am also the founder of IUY (I Understand You), a queer non-profit that helps over 10,000 queer youth annually. I would love to chat more!
