2nd Annual Virtual Conference on Ecological Justice: Fostering Resilience and Cultivating Impact
Melissa Singh
Environmental justice is centered on a person-centric experience of the world around us and is grounded in human priorities and rights. Ecological justice expands beyond this to place “emphasis on justice for the entire ecological system and future generations” (Powers et al., 2019).
The populations’ social workers aim to serve are often the most vulnerable and face the worst effects of natural disasters and environmental degradation, requiring meaningful interventions at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice and scholarship.
Recognizing many social workers face limited resources, including time, alongside increasing demands amplified by the dual pandemics of racism and COVID-19, this conference will offer dedicated space to grapple with these timely issues.
Using a strength-based approach, the conference aims to address social problems by simultaneously advancing environmental and community wellbeing, recognizing their deep interdependence.
This year’s conference theme is “Vital Connections: Fostering Resilience and Cultivating Impact”, and invited and accepted proposals will offer actionable, and replicable tools focusing on the many intersections between practice, policy initiatives, and ecological justice through the lens of connection and resilience.
