Join us for an evening of storytelling centered around different intersections on the topic of gender and environmental justice. From issues of migration, activism, leadership, and access to outdoor spaces, we will be exploring the various ways in which the effects of environmental (in)justice are shared unequally across the gendered intersectional spectrum.

Inspired by the PechaKucha storytelling format, we will be joined by four wonderful speakers who will each speak to their personal experiences and share unique insights on the disproportionate effects of environmental and climate (in)justice on gendered communities. Following our speakers’ presentations, audience members will have a chance to directly engage with our speakers through a moderated Q & A.

This event is part of our annual Climate Solutions Showcase. Our typical day-long event has been modified into a year-long event series, our theme this year is climate change, race and intersectionality.

We are excited to bring you this event in collaboration with UBC ORICE’s Collective for Gender+ in Research. We are honoured to receive support from PICS. Without their support this event would not be possible.
