Dr. Julie Sze, an advocate, professor, and leader for environmental justice at UC Davis, opens her presentation with a quote from Stevie Wonder’s 1975 song “Saturn” from Songs in the Key of Life, explaining how the message of unclean air, violence, war, and consumerism is still relatable today. A sneak peek of her book, Environmental Justice in a Moment of Danger, reveals we are living in a precarious time in history, crossroads of sorts. The presentation showcases her detailed research and encourages passion for a safer future.
