The 2022 UNBC Climate & Justice Teach-In is being organized by us as a project for ENVS 480. Led by Dr. Annie Booth and Dr. Sinead Earley, ENVS 480 serves as the ‘capstone’ course for the Environmental and Sustainability Studies degrees and provides multiple opportunities to synthesize and deepen the knowledge gained over the course of the degree. In bringing us together, the course has provided us with an opportunity to start translating the knowledge we've gained into professional practice, working on projects such as this to create change in our community.
