Students who study religion at JMU are well-informed about the ways in which religious communities and climate justice are intertwined. Religious studies students come to understand that religion and climate justice are not just compatible with each other, but that climate justice cannot be achieved without the mobilization and inclusion of religious communities. How do students develop this knowledge into skills for sustainability development? Why is it important to expand this knowledge into other academic disciplines?

Semaine des ODD | Projection du documentaire Inuk en colère et discussion
2024-03-07 11:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual, GA
https://inrs.ca/linrs/salle-de-nouvelles/evenements/semaine-des-odd-projection-du-documentaire-inuk-en-colere-et-discussion/
Dans le cadre de la Semaine canadienne des ODD (Objectifs de développement durable de l’ONU) et pour souligner la Journée internationale des droits des femmes, l’INRS offrira à sa communauté la projection du documentaire « Inuk en colère » d’Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, le 7 et 8 mars 2024.
Ce film explore la tradition ancestrale de la chasse au phoque chez les Inuit, un aspect crucial de leur mode de vie souvent sujet à controverse. Cependant, une nouvelle génération d’Inuit, animée par un sens de la justice et un humour particulier, utilise les réseaux sociaux pour défier les critiques de cette pratique et engager le dialogue sur son importance. La réalisatrice Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, originaire d’Iqaluit, se joint à ces militants inuits pour remettre en question les stéréotypes anciens et présenter leur peuple comme moderne et engagé pour une économie durable. Les ODD reconnaissent d’ailleurs qu’en tant que gardiens de la Terre, les peuples autochtones incarnent les principes du développement durable dans leur existence même. Finalement, dans la société inuit, les femmes jouent un rôle crucial dans la chasse aux phoques et dans la vie communautaire en général et elles sont souvent des gardiennes de la culture et des traditions, jouant un rôle essentiel dans la préservation et la transmission du savoir et des pratiques ancestrales.

Engaging in Transdisciplinary Climate Research (11.00-11.50 am PST)
2024-03-08 14:00 - 14:50 (America/New_York) | Virtual, GA
Register: https://climatesolutions.ubc.ca/news-and-events/events/graduate-student-discussion-engaging-transdisciplinary-climate-research

Conducting climate change research requires individuals from across disciplines to work together on solutions. But it’s not always simple – researchers are often trained within specific disciplines with techniques, approaches and customs that differ from others working towards similar solutions. So where do we begin?
In this session, Drs. Robert VanWynsberghe (Education) and Naoko Ellis (Applied Science) will explore the topic of transdisciplinary approaches to climate research by working with participants to:
– Discuss the rationale for a transdisciplinary approach
– Identify who the actors are in transdisciplinary research
– Explore how to initiate conversations with various actors about transdisciplinary approaches
– Consider how we show up in these conversations ourselves
– Reflect on how to create innovative spaces where transdisciplinary approaches can thrive
Online event hosted by the University of British Columbia’s Climate Solutions Research Collective.

Eco-Equality and Gender Equity: A panel of Millennium Fellows taking the lead
2025-03-03 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual, GA
The intersection of gender and climate action today addresses humanity’s most pressing issues in the 21st century. Environmental justice cannot be imagined without gender equity. An environmentally conscious world necessitates the importance of integrating gender perspectives into climate action. And to achieve gender equality we cannot gloss over the need to evaluate, address and question the disproportionate effect of climate change over marginalized gender identities.
Join Millennium Campus Network’s Millennium Fellows from the Class of 2024 as they share the diversity of ways they advanced the sustainable development goals of climate action and gender equality. Focusing on collective action and sustainable solutions, the event draws attention towards the interrelationship between achieving gender equality and climate action. This event will highlight how gender-responsive approaches can enhance the effectiveness of sustainability efforts and how climate action is unimaginable without addressing the ever increasing gender parity in their specific socio-political and economic contexts.
