Falling in Love with Nature: The Values of Latinx Catholic Environmentalism, with Amanda Baugh
Thursday, November 14, 5 p.m.
UCSB Henley Hall Lecture Hall
Presented by the Walter H. Capps Center
Amanda J. Baugh, Professor and Associate Chair of Religious Studies and Director of the MA Program in Sustainability at California State University, Northridge, will highlight often-overlooked environmental efforts by Spanish-speaking Catholics through Los Angeles-based ethnographic research. She'll talk about "la tierra environmentalism," an ethic of living lightly on earth grounded in love and respect for God, humanity, and all creation.
