Bridging the Gap Between Climate Change
Theory and Experience Conference
April 4 – 6, 2013
Dillard University Deep South Center for
Environmental Justice
Professional Schools Building, Rooms
131/135
This conference will focus on
the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable and marginalized
communities. Conference sessions will address racial, social, public health,
and economic disparities in the wake of climate related disasters. The conference
will serve as a call-to-action for students at Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) to become engaged in the conversation around climate and
justice. Discussions related to students becoming a part of the green economy
will also be a major focus.
This is an exciting venture
to fully engage African American students through education and training on
issues related to climate change and its adverse impacts. It is our expectation
that this conference will catalyze students around issues related to the
environment and prepare the next generation of leaders to bring solutions to
climate change. The conference is free for Dillard University faculty, staff
and students, however you must register to attend. See attached flyer for more
