Speaker: Clare Cannon, University of California-Davis
Title: “What feminist theory and methods has to offer environmental justice”
Via Zoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/92707468214 and In-Person in the Forest Club Room in Anderson Hall

In this talk, Dr. Clare Cannon explores diverse and veritable opportunities feminist theory and methods, including standpoint, intersectionality, and climate feminism, have to offer environmental justice concerns, research, and advocacy. Tracing her own recent research program alongside work of others, Dr. Cannon argues that bringing feminist theory and methods to bare on the most pressing social, environmental and climate injustices can deepen our understanding of how and why these injustices persist and what we can do about it.
