RESEARCH THAT MATTERS: SUSTAINABILITY, BIODIVERSITY, AND JUSTICE IN A TIME OF CRISIS
A sustainability across disciplines conference
March 13-17, 2023
Concordia University
In the rapidly unfolding environmental and humanitarian emergency resulting from climate change and biodiversity loss, our common future depends on researchers across disciplines working together to address the crisis, recognizing that it will not affect all equally and that justice issues are therefore a crucial part of the conversation. With this in mind, on March 13-17, 2023, the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre (LSRC) and Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability (LCDS) will collaborated with Concordia's 4TH SPACE to host a cross-disciplinary sustainability conference on the environmental crisis, entitled Research that matters: Sustainability, biodiversity, and justice in a time of crisis. This hybrid in-person/online event will bring together faculty, students, and the broader community from across Concordia and beyond to share and discuss relevant research from all discilpinary perspectives at Concordia.
Concordia University and most of the participants in this event will be located in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), on the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation, one of the founding nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. If you are not in Tiohtià:ke, you can find out whose land you are on here.
More information to follow soon; keep an eye on this space!
*We strongly encourage submissions from Indigenous and racialized people, those with disabilities, women, and those who identify as LGBTQQIP2SAA.
This event is brought to you by the Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability and the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre in collaboration with 4TH SPACE, with the support of the Office of the Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies; the Leadership in Environmental and Digital innovation for Sustainability (LEADS) NSERC CREATE program; the School of Community and Public Affairs and First Peoples Studies; the Science College; and the Departments of Biology; Communication Studies; Geography, Planning and Environment; Political Science and Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University.
This event will contribute to the Sustainability in Research section of Concordia's Sustainability Action Plan by increasing the visibility of sustainability research at Concordia.
