Robin Saha is a Professor and Director of the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Montana, with additional faculty affiliation in the Climate Change Studies Program. He teaches courses on environmental policy, climate change, environmental justice, and community sustainability, emphasizing community-engaged approaches.
His research centers on environmental justice frameworks, analyzing the intersection of race, toxic contamination, and climate vulnerability through community-based participatory methods. Dr. Saha collaborates extensively with Montana tribes and rural communities on climate resilience initiatives and environmental health advocacy, with particular focus on disproportionate pollution impacts in marginalized populations.
His seminal publications in the "Toxic Wastes and Race" series established foundational evidence for environmental racism nationwide, driving policy reforms and movement-building. Current research trends show deepening integration of indigenous knowledge systems with climate adaptation strategies, reflecting his commitment to decolonizing environmental science through tribal partnerships.
Dr. Saha provides technical EJ analysis for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, environmental advocacy organizations, and tribal nations—including critical support for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe during Dakota Access Pipeline resistance—demonstrating his national leadership in translating academic research into frontline environmental justice action.
