In this two-article dissertation, I addressed two practical problems: stagnation of environmental justice (EJ) practice in government and fragmentation within the larger EJ movement. I also addressed several research gaps, including a lack of a unifying framework for identifying disproportionate environmental and public health impacts and an under emphasis on public health and leadership in EJ research, among others.In the first article, I drew on the work of Charles Lee who put forward a definition of disproportionate impacts and extended his work by adapting his concept and offering a complementary theory of disadvantage to clarify methods for identifying disproportionate impacts. I deployed a descriptive, mixed-methods design using secondary data from four national data mapping tools to identify disproportionately impacted communities and populations, understand the distribution of risk, examine how burdens and vulnerabilities cluster together, and explore the utility of the theory of disadvantage in disproportionate impacts research. Findings revealed regions of Arkansas that are most disproportionately impacted, including urban areas, Delta communities, and border cities. However, no region is devoid of high risk. Minority populations were found to be the most impacted groups, and populations living in disproportionately impacted communities tend to suffer from specific burdens and vulnerabilities that work together to erode well-being. The theory of disadvantage was found to be useful for disproportionate impacts research. These results offered EJ leaders a new lens with which to view and design EJ mapping tools and offered clarity on intervention points and opportunities for cross-sector collaborations.In the second article, I drew on the findings from the first article to explore perspectives, efforts, and leadership approaches of public health leaders in a disproportionately impacted region, and I examined how these perspectives, efforts, and approaches aligned with the core capacities of ecosystem leadership. To do this, I utilized a descriptive, multimethod, qualitative case study design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with public health leaders funded through the Master Tobacco Settlement as well as leaders of partnering organizations. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze interview transcript data. Six themes were identified that highlighted (a) leaders' views of the complexity of vulnerability; (b) their prioritization of basic needs for vulnerable populations; (c) their efforts to raise awareness and shift mindsets; (d) their leveraging of partnerships; (e) their perspectives of leadership; and (f) the challenges presented by their geopolitical landscape. From these themes, I found that tobacco-funded leaders and their partners aligned with five core capacities of ecosystem leaders: co-creating, relating, dialogue, leading, and systems thinking. I also acknowledged that some capacities are restricted due to the geopolitical landscape.In reviewing key findings, I noted that tobacco-funded leaders and their program partners were in much agreement. However, I highlighted some notable differences, most of which were related to restrictions of state institutions, especially in the current geopolitical landscape. Plainly, non-governmental partners were more candid about political challenges to public health work than were their tobacco-funded counterparts. However, both groups of participants consistently expressed the realities of marginalization of minority populations in the state as well as minority-focused programs, revealing oppression throughout the ecosystem. To address our overarching problems related to stagnation of EJ practice and fragmentation in the EJ movement, we called for public health leaders to take a leading and vocal role in EJ work and showed that the work of public health leaders in a disproportionately impacted region is much the same as EJ leaders' work. So, we offered practical implications to connect leaders in these fields, provided recommendations for activating core capacities and designing leadership development. We also offered theoretical implications and argued for an integration of ecosystem leadership with EJ and social justice frames to address the lack of prioritization of marginalized minority groups in systems change work.
