Facilitator Guide

This facilitator guide was developed to support a co-facilitation model in which each student selected a session and led small group discussions with peers. The Confronting the Unequal Toll of Highway Expansion: Oni Blair, LINK Houston, & the Texas I-45 Debate case and facilitator guide invite students to explore policy implementation, advocacy strategies, and the promotion of inclusive communities and coalitions through an interdisciplinary, public health lens. Themes include federal, state, and local policy interactions, environmental health, displacement, segregation, transportation, and a broad range of advocacy strategies: community organizing, coalition building, public comment, data collection, legal action, media engagement, and behind-the-scenes negotiation.
