*Speaker:* Kim Coleman, Associate Professor at the Rubenstein School of
Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont.

*Description: *The environmental workforce is still largely white, despite
calls and efforts to diversify. This talk will discuss scholarship aimed at
understanding if connectedness to nature is a predictor of environmental
career aspirations for vulnerable groups of people – namely individuals who
identify as BIPOC, women, and gender-non-conforming folks – in order to
understand if efforts to increase connectedness represent a leverage point
or change. Understanding these dynamics could help environmental education
programs shape their focus to help diversify the environmental movement.

Hope to see you there!
