30th Anniversary Series: Women of Color and Climate Justice
The next lecture we are going to be looking back on is the Annual lecture from 2020, "Conversation on Climate Science, Policy & Justice with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson." Dr. Johnson answers questions about her book in a conversation moderated by Drs. Hoda Mahmoudi and Rashawn Ray. She describes the frustration of seeing a small group of white men being considered thought leaders in climate change. However, she knew that most women who are doing the most important climate work don't have time to take a break and write a book, one of the most traditional paths to thought leadership.
Limiting the Hoarding of Wealth for the Benefit of the Environment
On October 18th, 2022, Dr. Ingrid Robeyns brought us the talk, "In this world on fire, what can limitarianism bring us?" This talk provided context about limitarianism as well as arguments for its implementation. The central focus was on the ways that limiting the amount of income and wealth people can accumulate can aid us in addressing the climate crisis that is impacting the whole world.
