https://www.uvm.edu/diversity/IES The Stories we Live In: Justice, Nature, and Narrative with Kavitha Rao & Delma Jackson 12:00 - 1:15 PM, Virtual Session Over the past few years the multiple pandemics of health inequities, anti-black violence, and climate catastrophes have awakened many to a deeper understanding of how interconnected we all are. Center for Whole Communities exists to cultivate transformative leadership that weaves together and strengthens movements for justice and the environment. For nearly 20 years we’ve used a practice based framework to support authentic partnership and collaboration at the intersection of justice and the environment, with an understanding that we must be open to change as we change the systems we work within. Join Delma Jackson and Kavitha Rao of Center for Whole Communities as they share practice and story-telling from their work at this intersection and for an unflinching look at the history of white supremacy that is also at the root of the history of the conservation movement in the United States.
