Equal Opportunity Employer & Equity Statement

The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, class, veteran status and other protected status as required by law. 

We recognize that the field of environmental education has long excluded Black, Indigenous, and people of color as well as people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. 

We also recognize that environmental injustice and climate change disproportionately impact the most marginalized people in society- including people of color, Indigenous people, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQIA+ people.

We know that the land we teach on now has long been, and continues to be, stewarded by Alaska Native peoples, particularly the Sugpiaq and Dena’ina, for countless generations. We acknowledge that colonization has resulted in harmful changes in land stewardship and education that has excluded Indigenous people and traditional perspectives from environmental education.

We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do and that environmental education will be stronger and richer with more diverse perspectives.

We welcome your unique skills, cultural perspectives, and strengths and recognize how they benefit our community.
