2.12 A New EcoJustice Hub from the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology

This week's episode of Spotlights features a new hub for EcoJustice research and advocacy at the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology:

Our guests are the four people comprising the team that put these resources together, including the following: Tara C. Trapani, a graduate of Yale Divinity School (MAR ‘07) and the Chief Administrator of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology as well as the Coordinator for the Journey of the Universe multimedia project; Liz Burkemper, a Missourian and second year Master of Arts in Religion student at Yale Divinity School, concentrating in Religion and Ecology with interests in ecopoetry and sacred multispecies worlds; Eun Young Choi, a second-year Master of Arts in Religion candidate at Yale Divinity School, concentrating in Religion and Ecology; and Leah Snavely, a recent graduate of Yale Divinity School, where she focused her studies in religion and ecology on ecological ethics, forestry, and religion and ecology in Latin America. Leah is currently a Research Assistant at the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology and works as a Farmer at an organic vegetable farm outside of New Haven, CT.

Because the work of the Forum takes place at the intersection of religion and ecology, the majority of the resources and tools in this resource hub are related to the religious responses to environmental injustice. However, we do provide a few links below to some of the foundational, and primarily secular, material.
