Eliza White is a library assistant and sustainability researcher deeply rooted in environmental justice. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Sustainability from Arizona State University in the Renewable Energy, Technology, and Materials track with a concentration in Justice Studies. Her interest in environmental protection began at a young age, growing up along the Penobscot River in Maine and learning about local indigenous initiatives for water protection.

Eliza has a Sustainable Librarianship: Core Competencies certification from the American Libraries Association. She has conducted sustainability and social equity analyses, made policy recommendations, presented on sustainability topics, and assisted with research for grant proposals for libraries. With a focus toward environmental justice, Eliza strives to create authentic connections between indigenous and western sustainability concepts to help shift paradigms. She is interested in overcoming dominant narratives such as capitalism, colonialism, neoliberalism, white supremacy, and heteronormativity to create systemic change and reduce inequalities. Her current research focuses on intersectional environmental justice, indigenous environmentalism, and decolonizing sustainability.
