Coinciding with World Day of Social Justice, Dr. Rajni Shankar-Brown, a prominent eco-justice scholar, spoke on the link between environmental problems and social injustices.  

Her moving address, which she gave Tuesday, February 20 in the Great Hall, was the first installment of the Edward and Bonnie Foreman Biodiversity Lecture Series of the spring 2024 semester.

“You may be familiar with the phrase ‘a comic’s comic,’” Law Professor Royal Gardner, Director of Stetson Law’s Institute for Biodiversity Law and Policy, told the audience as he introduced her. “Dr. Shankar Brown is not a comic’s comic. She’s a teacher’s teacher – wonderful in the classroom. She puts into practice what she preaches.”
