Sociology of Racism and Climate Justice

February 8, 2021 · by geosci595p-fbowlick · in Seminar

This week we’re reading Sociology of Racism by Matthew Clair and Jeffrey Denis. This reading is part of the Unlearning Racism in Geosciences (URGE) curriculum.

We also encourage everyone to watch the 2021 Baldwin Lecture: Young People Fighting for Climate Justice.

In breakout rooms, we addressed the following:

What were your takeaways from the sociology of racism, what was new?
How do the approaches here differ from discussions on racism within our own research fields?
What were your takeaways from the climate justice recording? Were there connections with the Sociology of Racism?
How can you utilize what you learned this week in other areas of your life and work?
