Yes, though it may be best to think of it as scaffolding rather than creating a public.  There are a few.  The project should scaffold and animate

-- the intergenerational group of researchers working on the project (mostly co-located at UCI)

-- a network of environmental justice educators and researchers (linked through the Beyond Environmental Injustice Research and Teaching Collective)

-- MPNA-GREEN, the community-based, place-focused environmental organization that we partner with in the project

-- a network of environmental justice organizations, working against the isolation experienced by many  that are local-based and place-focused.
