Description

The College of the Environment presents:

The Power of Storytelling & Nature: Introducing Intersectional Environmentalism

Navigating higher education while juggling your mental health, having an active social life, taking classes, and potentially having a job is tough. The way we craft our own narratives and tell them as storytellers deeply informs our past, present, and future.

In this talk, we will explore how knowing, recording, and sharing your own personal story can help you in your individual journey through college and beyond.

Reception follows.

Speaker bio:

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.
