How Can Universities Accelerate Environmental and Climate Justice?
This panel explores how universities can play a critical role in accelerating environmental and climate justice at this critical historical juncture. Building on the ‘Centering Justice Symposium’ at the New School and drawing on the experiences of leaders in this critical work at universities in our region, the panel will focus on what we have learned in terms of concrete and actionable steps, practices, curriculum development, research, and activities and explore how we can ramp this work up and also work more closely together. The discussion will explore the multiple facets of a University in advancing ECJ, from the co-production of knowledge and incorporating ECJ into curricula to monetarily supporting CBOs and ECJ activists.
Panelists include:
- Ana Baptista (The New School)
- Kendra Sullivan (CUNY Graduate Center)
- Liz Sevcenko (Rutgers University-Newark)
The panel will be moderated by Climate School Professor Sheila Foster. Registration is highly recommended but not required.
