Invited Oral Speaker: Jennie C. Stephens, PhD – Professor of Climate Justice, ICARUS Climate Research Centre, Maynooth University, Ireland
As humanity faces a polycrisis of interconnected challenges including worsening climate disruptions and growing economic inequities, diversifying power is an essential component of transformative social change. To move toward the systemic and structural changes that are required for a more hopeful future for all, antiracist, feminist leadership is necessary to diversify knowledge production and get beyond narrowly construed, incremental, and insufficient "solutions". The goal of this session is to inspire a justice-first paradigm shift and welcome all participants to embrace a transformative antiracist, feminist lens in research, policy and practice.
