How have the cycles of land dispossession, extraction, industrialization, urbanization, de-urbanization and gentrification played out across American landscapes and people’s bodies? This panel will bring together Indigenous leaders and urban environmental justice activists to share their understanding of how justice and equality (or the lack of both) have aided profit-seekers in degrading environments and accelerating climate change. <i class="">Moderated by Kate Brown</i></div><div class=""><i class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b></i></div><div class=""><i class=""><b class="">Envisioning Climate Futures</b></i></div><div class="">The closing session begins with an interactive “Community Visioning” exercise that will lead the audience in generating a collective, if varied, vision of livable climate futures. Drawing on that exercise, an intergenerational panel will reflect on the stories, struggles, and dreams that have been voiced during the two day symposium to consider how, by building on the good work already undertaken by communities living at the front lines of climate change, we might learn to thrive together across differences. <i class="">Moderated by Bettina Stoetzer and Heather Paxson</i></div><div class=""><i class=""><br class=""></i></div><div class=""><b class="" style="font-size: medium;">Living Climate Futures is sponsored by: </b><span class="" style="font-size: medium;">MIT</span><b class="" style="font-size: medium;"> </b><a href="https://anthropology.mit.edu/" class=""><font size="3" class="">Anthropology</font></a><font size="3" class="">, <a href="https://sts-program.mit.edu/" class="">STS</a>, <a href="https://history.mit.edu/" class="">History</a>, Project Indigenous MIT, MIT <a href="https://sustainability.mit.edu/" class="">Office of Sustainability</a>, and the <a href="https://shass.mit.edu/about/office-of-the-dean" class="">SHASS Dean’s Office</a></font></div><div class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0in; background-color: white; position: static; z-index: auto;"><span class=""><span class="" style="letter-spacing: 0.4pt;">Registration for public events (Amphitheater, Welcome Center) is requested but not required. </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: 0.4pt;">At this time, face masks are optional but encouraged inside all MIT buildings.</span></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in; background-color: white; position: static; z-index: auto;"><span class="" style="letter-spacing: 0.4pt;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in; background-color: white; position: static; z-index: auto;"><span class="" style="letter-spacing: 0.4pt;">MIT is committed to making our events accessible.
