Join us for an exciting live event to learn about how SJSU students are leveraging the power of storytelling to inform our community about environmental challenges in our region and throughout the Spanish Speaking world! Mexican zoologist, science writer and public science education activist Andrés Cota Hiriart joins students from SJSU in a bilingual event in Spanish and English to showcase Environmental Humanities Projects by students that will include live readings of poetry, short stories and personal essays, as well as photo-narratives focused on environmental issues that range of the impacts of pesticides in our Latinx communities in the region to environmental challenges facing communities throughout Spanish-Speaking America. We will honor the winners of a new creative writing prize in Environmental Humanities for High School students from our region and celebrate the power of the humanities to communicate the urgency of environmental realities both locally and globally.
