It will also examine differences in the wages of male and female as well as minority and non-minority executives in environmental organizations. In 2014, Taylor authored a report, "The State of Diversity in Environmental Organizations: Mainstream NGOs, Foundations & Government Agencies," seen as the most comprehensive report on diversity in the environmental movement. The report can be viewed here: https://www.diversegreen.org/the-challenge/ Dr. Dorceta Taylor is a professor of environmental sociology at the University of Michigan’s School of for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS).
