ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS LECTURE POWERPOINT
|
|
Becky Clausen is a professor of Sociology & Human Services at Fort Lewis College who has been doing qualitative research to examine the effects of the Gold King Mine spill on Navajo farmers on the Navajo reservation. In conjunction with Navajo scholars, she has interviewed over 100 farmers to understand the long-term impacts of the mine spill on both their farming practices as well as the social-psychological impacts. She’ll speak to the ways in which the same event can impact different communities in very different ways.

About Beyond Standing Rock
BEYOND STANDING ROCK takes a close look at the Dakota Access pipeline, Bears Ears National Monument and other US/tribal clashes across the country.
The films take viewers to the front lines of the protests on the North Dakota plains and also investigates the ongoing legal struggle behind the protests.
In addition to the Dakota Access pipeline controversy, BEYOND STANDING ROCK looks at how Colorado’s Southern Ute Tribe has taken control over their own oil and gas resources, creating an economic powerhouse and changing the lives of tribal members.
Finally, BEYOND STANDING ROCK puts viewers right in the
middle of a heated land war over the new Bears Ears National Monument in Southeast Utah. Utah lawmakers want President Trump to overturn the designation of the new monument, while a coalition of tribes argues for collaborative management of monument lands.

Context on the film: We humans are a force of nature. At the same time human activities alter the basic elements of life – earth, air, water, and fire – those elements change human life.
In an arresting new documentary environmental photographer James Balog captures the lives of everyday Americans on the front lines of climate change. He profiles each element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and how the 5th Element- HUMANS interact with and impact each element. We’re just focusing on one chapter from the film on “Air”.
