Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis
A virtual conversation with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
Thursday, February 11, 7:00-8:30 pm
The Creative Justice Institute and Climate Stories Collaborative are thrilled to bring an inspiring voice to our campus this spring—Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. Dr. Johnson is a leading voice in the climate conversation and co-editor of the new anthology
The climate crisis is an enormous tangle of problems, born of and amplifying injustices, including racial injustices. The daily news on these problems can cause feelings of overwhelm, so we must counter that by stoking our inspiration to participate in the transformations necessary for a just and livable future. Feed your inspiration for action by joining us for a virtual conversation with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, marine biologist, policy expert, and leader/cultivator of the climate movement (see bio below). Appalachian students Omiah Mitchell, Sophie Fox and Justin Sykes will join faculty Cara Hagan and Laura England to co-host this conversation.
