Covey also published a Portuguese-language op-ed (“Degradation in the Amazon exacerbates global warming”) with collaborators Fiona Soper, Jose Marengo and Thomas Lovejoy in Folha, Brazil’s largest circulation daily; an English-language version is set to appear in OneEarth.

Tammy C. Owens, assistant professor of American studies, published “Black Maternal Mortality: The New Child Welfare Issue in the U.S.” in the Youth Circulations blog. In the piece, Owens argues that the alarming rates of Black women dying during and shortly after giving birth must be understood as one of the most pressing child welfare issues in the United States.
