Research and Activism: Lessons learned from the Last Warning educational campaign to draw attention to ecocide and genocide in Brazil
The Amazon holds a unique place within the living fabric of the Earth. Its significance to the climate emergency and the wider extinction crisis is attested by science, while its role in the cultural imagination of environmental movements is unparalleled. An educational campaign about the importance of, as well as threats to, the Amazon rainforest and Indigenous rights in Brazil was lunched last summer. The Last Warning educational initiative is an extension of a long-term research collaboration between the Huni Kui Indigenous People’s Federation in the Amazon and researchers from the Department of Educational Studies at UBC, including Dr. Vanessa Andreotti, Dr. Cash Ahenakew, and Dr. Sharon Stein.
Join Dr Andreotti, Dr. Ahenakew, and Dr Stein, as they share insights from this important collaboration!
Date and Time: Wednesday, November 10th at 2 pm.
Location: Ponderosa Commons 1306A
