MCC Community Lunch: Black History Month; Radically Imagining Past Legacies & Futures

Join us every Wednesday of the Quarter for lunch and conversation in the Multicultural Center!

This weekly MCC Community Lunch features Radically Imagining Past Legacies & Futures, a talk with speaker Jarre Hamilton.

As the Black community has faced numerous struggles and successes recently and throughout our history, how do we effectively look back on our history with an intersectional lens? This talk will highlight several pivotal moments where joy and radially imagining a better future for our community created effective change and begin to answer the question: how does our collective history affect how we view our legacy and radically imagine our future?

Question and Answer section will follow the talk.

Jarre Hamilton is a Ph.D. candidate in anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, and oversees research development at Intersectional Environmentalist.

Intersectional Environmentalist (IE) creates content and programs that explore the environment, culture, and identity and works to center environmental justice and the importance of equity in institutional and educational spaces to ensure a better and safer future for all people, especially those most impacted by the climate crisis.

Look for more Intersectional Environmentalist events during WWU's Earth Week in April.
