Laura Zanotti to Speak on Environmental Justice
Building on the Center for the Environment’s year-long program of conversations about intersections between environmental and social justice, Dr. Laura Zanotti, Center Associate Director and Professor of Anthropology, will highlight frameworks of environmental justice and ways they have been mobilized (at both sites of global environmental governance and in national contexts) to support Indigenous Peoples’ rights. Reflecting on collaborative partnerships with Mebêngôkre-Kayapó Peoples, Dr. Zanotti will detail current threats facing Indigenous Peoples rights in Brazil as well as pursuits for justice.
The session will take place via WebEx on Wednesday, November 11, 2020 from 12 PM EST to 1:30 PM. All are welcome to attend, but must first be registered.
