Winona LaDuke, “Politics, Women and Environmental Justice.” Co-sponsored with the Center for State Policy & Leadership, with support from the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.
In conversation with students and professionals, the UIS Women’s Center identified this year as the “Year of EcoFeminism.” As a society, we are situated at an environmental crossroads; the time is now to educate and promote environmental awareness — in all its intricacies. The UIS Women’s Center seeks to promote women collectively and individually; to provide a catalyst for growth; to serve as a resource for support; to increase the spirit of community; and to promote tolerance for diversity. Our work leads us to the undeniable interconnectedness of the environment with those very issues: women’s collective and individual personal, professional, spiritual, and economic health are dependent on the environment; thus was born the Year of EcoFeminism.
