We are excited to celebrate with you!
The New Garden Society is excited to co-host an event to commemorate the launch of the new book Ecologies of Justice. Refreshments will be served. Some of the book's contributors will attend to discuss the book and sign copies.
Book Description: What is the role of multi-species ecologies in creating spaces that counteract the violence in carceral systems and environmental destruction? This book brings together, for the first time, contributions on issues related to prison, jail, and reentry programs, community-based interventions, environmental justice, and sustainability. Through rigorous analysis, detailed case studies, poetry, and personal reflections, the book offers ways of thinking and acting at the intersection of environmental issues and the carceral system. It gathers hard-earned wisdom and insight of researchers, activists, practitioners, and community leaders from within and beyond prison walls who have taken up their projects despite profound institutional constraints.
This event is co-sponsored by the H.E.R.O Nurturing Center, The New Garden Society, and the Ecologies of Justice Network
You may Pre-order the book and pick it up at the event.
This is a free event, but if you choose to pay the addition admission, the money will be donated to The New Garden Society to offset costs for the food and venue.
