DESCRIPTION:December Slugs & Steins with Assistant Professor Naya Jones\n\nTeaching 
 (Beyond) Crisis: Black Ecologies and Critical Hope\n\nHow can teaching 
 foster critical hope amid intersecting global crises? How are Black 
 ecologies ones of displacement and collective possibility? And, how is this 
 complexity honored in the classroom? In this talk, Dr. Naya Jones (UCSC 
 Sociology) reflects on teaching Black ecologies amid on-going social and 
 environmental injustice, including pandemic inequities and climate change. 
 As a field, Black ecologies focuses on Black diaspora relationships with 
 the environment past and present, always with careful attention to issues 
 of justice, solidarity between communities, and thriving. Along with 
 highlighting contemporary themes in Black ecologies, Dr. Jones will address 
 some of the key challenges and opportunities for teaching about Black 
 environmental knowledge in this moment. Join us for teaching "stories" from 
 the Black Botany Studio (her virtual research lab and creative workshop) 
 and the classroom. Note: This talk includes some optional opportunities to 
 reflect, journal, and ask questions. \n\nNaya Jones, PhD is a critical 
 health geographer and cultural worker. Through research and creative 
 methods, she studies Black geographies of health, healing, and the 
 environment. She is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Core Faculty in 
 the Global and Community Health Program at the University of California 
 Santa Cruz. Her current projects broadly focus on the study, teaching, and 
 practice of Black environmental knowledge in the 21st century. \n\nWith a 
 focus on Black ecologies in North and Latin America, she especially 
 considers how this knowledge continues to be reimagined amid on-going 
 displacement and climate injustice. Her award-winning solo and 
 collaborative projects have been supported by the Robert Wood Johnson 
 Foundation (Culture of Health Leaders). the Botanical Society of America, 
 and the American Association of Geographers. www.nayajones.com\n\nEvent is
