Representatives from Universidad de la Costa (CUC) will offer a situated perspective from the Colombian Caribbean, highlighting the deep interconnections between ecosystems and communities that inhabit them. Our speakers will share experiences from research projects aimed at understanding ecological and social vulnerability in coastal, riverine, and insular territories, and at strengthening community resilience in the face of climate change and structural inequalities.
This event is hosted by the Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity as in part of the Women's Resources Center Ecofeminism Series.
This event is made possible with support from the Illinois International Programs; LAS Inclusive Excellence Funding; Center for Global Studies; Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies; and the Women’s Resources Center.
