William Walker VI’S Post

This year I had the privilege of executing one of my goals which was to bring representation to overlooked identities in sustainability through a student-led course. With support from the School of Sustainability, I developed a student-led, faculty-advised course named "Intersectional Environmentalism and Sustainability." This course included undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students. The course examined how identities such as race, class, and gender create different realities for different people and how they navigate the world around them. Essentially, students in the class taught the class on topics such as Black representation in sustainability, ecofeminism, and Indigenous leadership in sustainability. This initiative was awe-inspiring because it broadened student's horizons on what inclusion really means. Below, I have posted a page from Tahiry Langrand and Jordan Sene who designed a deliverable of all the students' topics. An idea I thought was ambitious at the time only scratched the surface of my potential and reflects the passion I have to lead by uplifting others. As I continue to learn, I will continue to do work that leaves space for myself and others who need it the most.  https://lnkd.in/epFhMxB
