Jared Edgar McKnight is an Associate at WRT, Assistant Director of the Landscape Justice Initiative at USC, a 2021 National Graduate Olmsted Scholar Finalist, and recipient of ASLA National's Student Award of Excellence in Research. Jared’s highest motivation is to have an inclusive, and equitable impact in our urban realm through community-driven, climate-responsive, and collaborative designs that employ research and engagement strategies to advocate for new futures. Captivated by landscape’s potential as a system to support environmental and social resilience, his research focuses on policy and design interventions that challenge the structures that isolate, exclude and oppress communities and ecosystems.
