*CANCELED: We are rescheduling the Latinx Environmentalisms talk to Fall 2020. Please check the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series page for the latest info on upcoming talks.*

Thursday, March 12, at 5:30 p.m. in Founders Hall 118

As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, the editors of Latinx Environmentalisms -- Sarah D. Wald, David J. Vázquez, Priscilla Solis Ybarra, and Sarah Jaquette Ray – will have a roundtable discussion on “Why Latinx Environmentalisms? When Latinx Studies and Environmental Studies Meet.”

The whiteness of mainstream environmentalism often fails to account for the richness and variety of Latinx environmental thought. Building on insights of environmental justice scholarship as well as critical race and ethnic studies, Latinx Environmentalisms maps the ways Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice.

In this roundtable discussion, the editors of Latinx Environmentalisms come together to celebrate the publication of the volume and to talk about the connections– as well as the remaining tensions– between Latinx Studies and the environmental humanities.

The Sustainable Futures Speaker Series is sponsored by the Schatz Energy Research Center, the Environment & Community graduate program, and the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences at Humboldt State University. This talk is also sponsored by El Centro, and the departments of Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies and Environmental Studies.
