Details

In the opening event for Earthfest 2021, Environmental Alliance will moderate a panel discussion and Q&A with three members of the Duke community who work on environmental issues in diverse disciplines. This event will explore questions related to the role of interdisciplinary fields in the environmental movement: What is the place academic research in social movements? What is the power of storytelling as a mechanism of change? What are the obligations and challenges around science communication today?

Our featured speakers are Imari Walker Karega, a PhD Candidate in the Pratt School of Engineering, Dr. Christopher Timmins from the Duke Department of Economics, and Dr. Miguel Rojas-Sotelo, director of the upcoming Water Towns film festival and Program Coordinator for Duke's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
