Environmental Intersectionality
Event: October 12, 2002 |
Technology has transformed our lives, but in spite of its many promises, it hasn't yet saved us from the perils of a warming climate. Shifts in society have often come from art, but will they be able to mobilize change this time around?
This conference features Leah Thomas, an intersectional environmental activist and eco-communicator based in Southern California. She is passionate about advocating for and exploring the relationship between social justice and environmentalism. She authored The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression for the Protection of People + Planet and is the founder of the Intersectional Environmentalist platform.
