Webcast sponsored by Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by Common Energy UBC’s NOW (No Other World) Forum. Dr. Juanita Sundberg brings the insights of feminist geography and the sensibilities of an ethnographer to bear on the cultural politics of nature conservation. Dr. Sundberg’s work seeks to foster conversations between feminist theory, critical race theory, post-humanism, political ecology, and Latin American studies. In this webcast, Dr. Sundberg discusses why the environmental movement is dominantly female and strategies on building a community of climate activists.
