Virtual Talk with Dr. Zoe Todd – Online Event
Date & Time
November 6, 2024, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Description
This Wednesday, the GES department is co-sponsoring a virtual lecture as part of UMBC's Public Stories Lab. The talk is led by Dr. Zoe Todd, an artist-researcher who tactfully merges Indigenous studies, anthropology, and freshwater fish biology in their research. Dr. Todd's lecture will focus on their team's "Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy" that guides human obligations to freshwater fish communities. Indigenous perspectives on ecology have long been disregarded and erased by mainstream scientific literature. Dr. Todd's work is commendable for centering critical Indigenous voices and for advocating for a re-examination of our fish conservation strategies throughout the United States and Canada.
The lecture will be held this Wednesday, November 6th at 11:00 am. It will be held fully online and can be accessed at the following Webex link. We hope to see you there! https://umbc.webex.com/umbc/j.php?MTID=mb0b8c532010f3345070666e96f05926f
