Tucson, Arizona
Join us for a discussion of the key issues and questions being addressed by academics, artists, activists, environmentalists, and policy-makers as we confront the real-world consequences of an age of globalism, seeking to open lines of communication between groups too often isolated from each other.
Topics:
· environmental justice
· urban nature
· native lands
· grassroots activism
· corporate/transnational capitalism
· effects of "free trade" agreements such as NAFTA
· border issues
· environmental education
Goals:
| · | to promote interdisciplinary and creative approaches to problems of social injustice and environmental abuse. |
| · | to push our conversations about environmental challenges beyond a focus on environmental racism and toxics and towards the proactive partnerships, successful community activism, and emerging conversations between government, industry, science, the academy, activist organizations, and local communities that are giving a new generation ideas for sustainable alternatives and hope for the future. |
