Earthfest Opening Panel:
Environmentalism Across Disciplines
In the opening event for Earthfest 2021, Environmental Alliance will moderate a panel discussion and Q&A with three members of the Duke community who work on environmental issues in diverse disciplines. This event will explore questions related to the role of interdisciplinary fields in the environmental movement: What is the place of academic research in social movements? What is the power of storytelling as a mechanism of change? What are the obligations and challenges around science communication today?
Our featured speakers are Imari Walker Karega, a PhD Candidate in the Pratt School of Engineering, Dr. Christopher Timmins from the Duke Department of Economics, and Dr. Miguel Rojas-Sotelo, director of the upcoming Water Towns film festival and Program Coordinator for Duke's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Check out their bios here.
Day 2: Intersectional Environmentalism
Saturday, April 10th
Kristy Drutman: Intersectionality and Diversity in the Environmental Movement
For Day 2 of EarthFest, we will be joined by Kristy Drutman, an environmental activist, educator, blogger, and host of the Brown Girl Green podcast. Kristy worls through digital media, workshops, and speaking engagements to spotlight environmental justice issues and spur discussions about inclusion in the environmental movement. She is self-described to be "working to change the image of what it means to an environmentalist in the 21st century." Join us to learn about Kristy's work and to discuss how intersectionality can be meaningfully incorporated into environmental movements.
