Join us in this exciting panel to recenter Community in our conversations about Land Back, Health Equity and Climate Justice!

 This event will bring Indigenous perspectives on the intersections of the climate crisis. We will dive into the practicalities of what climate work looks like on the ground and how to cultivate community-responsive research.  Join the dialogue to hold space for conversations that address settler-colonial conditions and values, as well as our collective abilities to make healthy decisions to bring about change that is healing.

Abstract

Prof. Livney’s lab focuses on biopolymers for food and health. They harness biopolymers for targeted delivery of health- promoting compounds for treating cancer, and for preventing diseases via dietary interventions. They also promote global sustainability and food security by developing novel alternatives to animal-based foods, based on biopolymers from new and renewable sources.
