The Rising Voices Center for Indigenous and Earth Sciences is hosting a public online event to honor the legacy of its co-founder, Bob Gough. This year’s symposium will address current intersecting disasters related to climate change, the COVID-19 health crises, and ongoing social injustice. In exploring the cumulative effect of disasters, we will focus on how we bring our whole selves into climate-related work, centering Indigenous knowledge systems and expanding the inclusivity and diversity of knowledge systems in the Earth Sciences.
