Nature Unfurled asks how Asian Americans have engaged with non-human nature over time. The panelists—Connie Chiang, Ashanti Shih, Tamara Venit-Shelton, and Sarah Wald—will discuss research on Asian Americans in the intertwined movements for racial and environmental justice. By the 1970s, activists recognized that racial oppression was inextricably linked to the environment. To combat exclusion from certain natural resources and amenities or exposure to toxic environments, they forged alliances with other people of color and campaigned for environmental justice.

This panel discussion is a featured program of the Gould Center and EnviroLab Asia's mini-conference on Asian American Environmental Visions and Activism.
