What is environmental racism?
Can the environmental movement in Canada continue to organize on an agenda of primarily green politics, devoid of any critical engagement with issues of colonialism and race?
How are racialized communities mobilizing around environmental issues?
Taking from their lived experiences and professional work, panelists will critically discuss Canada's longstanding history of colonialism and racism, with a focus on Canada's claim of multiculturalism.
