This essay reflects on the ways that Mike Davis's commitment to social justice shaped his pedagogical practice and mentorship. It uses the author's personal experiences to highlight Davis's support for devalued communities and overlooked places. More specifically, the essay provides examples that show how Davis created new platforms that amplified marginalized voices. Finally, the author uses current research on the Salton Sea and the Coachella Valley to illustrate how Davis's intellectual contributions generated valuable epistemic frameworks for those interested in social and ecological justice.
