Diversifying Power! Energy & climate justice with professor Jennie C. Stephens

 
What does more inclusive leadership to advance climate and energy justice look like? Join this webinar in our series on just sustainability transitions to discuss professor Jennie C. Stephens’s insights on energy and climate justice!
 
The urgency of climate change and sustainable energy seems to be gaining more and more attention. But who is involved, whose voices are being elevated, and how do our responses perpetuate or disrupt the concentration of wealth and power? What does more inclusive leadership look like to advance climate and energy justice?
 
Why we need antiracist, feminist leadership on climate & energy with Jennie C. Stephens
In this webinar, we invite professor Jennie C. Stephens to share insights from her recent book “Diversifying Power: Why we need antiracist, feminist leadership on climate and energy”. This work captures the voices of those who have too often remained unseen and unheard in the fields of energy and climate.
 
Action research on just energy transitions – three short pitches 
Jennie C. Stephens’s talk will be preceded by three short pitches on initiatives at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam to conduct action research on energy justice (Prof. Darren McCauley), social innovation in energy (Dr. Julia Wittmayer) and sustainable just cities (Dr. Flor Avelino).
 
Interactive World Café 
After Jennie C. Stephens’s talk there will be an interactive World Café where participants are invited to share their thoughts, comments and questions, first with each other in smaller groups, followed by a moderated 30-minute Q&A session with Jennie C. Stephens.
 
Inviting an international and diverse audience 
Are you a researcher, student, activist, entrepreneur, policy-maker, otherwise critical thinker and/or engaged citizen? And are you interested in energy and climate justice? Join this webinar!
