Beyond the Trees: Ecofeminism and Connections to Current Movements for Change
with Jeannette Kiel, PhD
Wednesday, November 4, 2020
3 pm Eastern Daylight Time

Ecofeminist activism works to address and transform the interconnected injuries to folks and to nature caused by attitudes of sexism, racism, classism, speciesism, and more. It does not exist in a vacuum and is connected to movements beyond the ecological. In this presentation, I first briefly discuss the foundational ideas of ecofeminism and then examine how ecofeminism connects to current activist movements. Lastly, I present examples of ways folks are connecting their ecofeminists visions with current movements.
Jeannette Kiel PhD is an ecofeminist activist, artist, and scholar. Jeannette believes that all forms of injustice are interconnected to nature and that these must be addressed to create real change and transformation for peace to thrive in our world. Her artwork also addresses her identification as a Mestiza or mixed-race Philipino-Black woman. Jeannette teaches Psychology and Women and Gender Studies at Sacramento City College and Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies at CSU Stanislaugh. Jeannette earned a Ph.D. in Women’s Spirituality from the California Institute of Integral Studies (San Francisco), an MA in Women’s Studies from San Diego State University, and BA in Psychology from Alliant International University (San Diego).
