Please join us for "Race, Class, and the City: A Climate Change, Environmental Justice, and Housing Panel" on Thursday, November 12, during Bengal Pause (12:15–1:30 p.m.) via Blackboard Collaborate.

Long-standing racial and economic inequalities in the American housing system stand to be amplified by the impacts of global climate change. This session will explore questions of housing and climate justice, with a focus on the historical conditions, challenges, and opportunities in Buffalo.

Panelists are Camille Holmgren, chair and professor of geography and planning; Jason Knight, associate professor of geography and planning; and Eric Walker, community activist and co-founder of PUSH Buffalo and PUSH Green.

Everyone is welcome. Please join us through Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.

Please join President Conway-Turner and the Civic and Community Engagement Office today, November 9, at 12:30 p.m. for a conversation with Kirby Briggs of Kirby's Korner and Alex Burgos of the MOCHA Center about various voices within BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). Diversity is not just superficially satisfied by having conversations about race; there are various voices and statues within those who have been racially oppressed that need to be shared. Ms. Briggs will discuss perspectives within the differently abled community and her lived experiences as a child of color who has different physical abilities. Mr. Burgos will discuss his dual identities and lived experiences as a member of the Latino community, the LGBTQ+ community, and his work in the community.
