DETAILS

Presented by the School of Social Ecology and its Climate & Urban Sustainability Program and Alec Glasser Center for the Power of Music & Social Change, the Climate Justice Lecture Series returns for its second half.

David N. Pellow of the Department of Environmental Studies at UC Santa Barbara speaks on what the title is of his book. Human societies have always been deeply interconnected with our ecosystems, but today those relationships are witnessing greater frictions, tensions, and harms than ever before. These dynamics mirror those experienced by marginalized communities across the planet, but they also provide a foundation for a foundation of transformative thinking and action to address these challenges.

In a talk based on the second edition of Pellow's acclaimed book, What Is Critical Environmental Justice?, the professor introduces a new framework for critically analyzing environmental justice scholarship and activism.

His lecture will be moderated by UC Irvine Assistant Professor Mukul Kumar of the Department of Urban Planning & Public Policy.

No RSVP is required to attend this free event.
