Hello all,
Please join us for our next SusIG event! We will be hosting a virtual discussion centered around an essay from the compilation volume, All We can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis, edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine K. Wilkinson.
We will be discussing "Wakanda Doesn't Have Suburbs': How Movies Like Black Panther Could Help Us Save the Planet ", by Kendra Pierre-Louis, which is freely available online from Time magazine in addition to being published as an essay in the book. You can also find this essay available in audio format through the podcast Temperature Check. The essay is short, thought-provoking, and hopeful. We are looking forward to an equally thought-provoking discussion of our takeaways from the essay and how academic libraries can take action to support a hopeful and more sustainable future.
We also encourage you to check out the rest of the essays in All We Can Save as you are able. The associated website includes resources for building climate community and engaging with climate activism.
Zoom information will follow as we get closer to the event.
Hope to see you there!
