Towards Climate Justice: Centering Wabanaki Tribal Nations in Adaptation to Climate Change

Salem State Professor of Geography and Sustainability Steven Silvern will join Darren Ranco, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Coordinator of Native American Research at the University of Maine, to discuss Ranco's work, which considers the ways Wabanaki Tribal Nations are leading climate justice and adaptation efforts across the northeast region of the United States. Professor Ranco will detail current and coming impacts of climate change on Wabanaki Tribal cultures and how mobilizing Indigenous knowledge and centering Wabanaki perspectives can create just possibilities for addressing those changes.

This lecture will take place on zoom on Wednesday, November 3, 2021, 7:00-8:30pm (ET).
