The Ecofeminism Summit offers a series of public programs designed to connect social justice, environmental justice, and feminist theory. Keynote lectures, workshops, film screenings, and lectures will provide students with unique opportunities to further explore eco-feminist theory and praxis. 

While the eco-feminism summit does not directly address any objective in the iCAP, it is related to several themes. First, it will be an educational event that draws in students that may not encounter sustainability material in their general education. Students studying a broad set of disciplines, especially Gender and Women’s Studies, Community Health, Political Science, Interdisciplinary Health, and Advertising, are typical students who frequent the WRC, and these will get exposure to sustainability through these intersectional talks. Further, it engages with the campus community. We look for partnerships across campus, highlighting opportunities for collaboration. Bringing in other campus units also exposes them to sustainability and gives them the opportunity to learn about sustainability for their unit. Finally, it makes our culture and society more resilient. By challenging dominant and sometimes oppressive ideologies, eco-feminism allows us to envision a new way to operate and reorganize old ways of thinking and doing.
 
In educating students on these topics, we shed light on new perspectives and encourage them to take personal and community action towards sustainability and gender justice. By drawing connections between theory and practical application, we empower university members to think critically and creatively and take action.
