EEASC 2025 Conference: Making Waves

Environmental education is most effective when it acknowledges and addresses the diverse experiences of the communities it serves. This session will explore the critical role of intersectionality in shaping environmental education programs, highlighting how race, class, and historical context impact environmental access and engagement. Participants will gain practical tools for integrating social justice into environmental curricula, fostering inclusive spaces that empower all voices. Through a lens of equity and innovation, we’ll discuss how environmental education can better serve marginalized communities, making waves for a more just and sustainable future.
