Mitchell Center hosts talk about promoting equity through citizen science

Ruth Hallsworth, Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions

Description

The Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions at the University of Maine will host a talk about how citizen science can help promote equity in the science and technology fields 3-4 p.m. on Monday, March 1.

In this talk, Amara lfeji will speak to her lived experiences as a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) individual, and the marginalization she has faced in nurturing a connection to place and environment. She will talk about how her passion for water justice led her to not only foster this connection herself, but to also serve as a conduit for other BIPOC and female-identifying students.
