Environmental Justice in Rural America - Lane Family Lecture in Environmental Science
2022-02-16 12:00 | environment.wsu.edu, WA, United States
Environmental justice activist, author, and MacArthur “genius” grant recipient Catherine Coleman Flowers reveals America’s “dirty secret” and one of the least discussed forms of inequality: access to water and sanitation. Throughout her 20 years of work on this issue, Flowers has gathered insights from people struggling with water and sanitation problems in nearly every part of the United States – including the Pacific and Inland Northwest.
Flowers will explain how, with research and ingenuity, we can make significant strides toward water and sanitation equity and ways people of any age can help achieve equitable and sustainable water and sanitation infrastructure. Immediately after Flowers’ talk and Q&A, SoE will host a panel of WSU faculty experts to expand on topics raised and related WSU research, education, and opportunities.
Registration required for both events at environment.wsu.edu

In the 1980s, the Greenham Common Peace Camps adopted the song to protest the storing of nuclear cruise missiles, which lasted nearly two decades and was some 30,000 women strong. In her essay, “Tierra Sagrada: The Roots of a Revolution,” Cherrie Moraga names Naomi Littlebear Morena as a groundbreaking figure of Chicana feminism: “Since the early 1980s, Chicana lesbian feminists have explored these traditionally dangerous topics in both critical and creative writings. Chicana lesbian-identified writers such as Ana Castillo, Gloria Anzaldua, and Naomi Littlebear Morena were among the first to articulate a Chicana feminism, which included a radical woman-centered critique of sexism and sexuality from which both lesbian and heterosexual women benefited” (160).
