Join the WRC as we discuss "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants" by Robin Wall Kimmerer. We'll be exploring environmentalism through the lens of the traditions and cultures of the Indigenous peoples of North America and how our own experiences demonstrate the connection between living things and human efforts to cultivate a more sustainable world.  All are welcome!

We have limited copies of the book available.

This event is part of the WRC's 10th Annual Ecofeminism Summit. The Annual Ecofeminism Summit offers a series of programs designed to connect social justice, environmental justice, and feminist theory. Keynote lectures, workshops, film screening, and lectures will provide students with unique opportunities to further explore ecofeminist theory and praxis.

Funding provided by the Student Sustainability Committee with additional support from the Women's Resources Center.
