The Tanner Lectures with Margaret Redsteer | Lecture 2: Barriers to Transforming Climate Dialogues

"Structural Barriers to Transforming Climate Dialogues" is the second of two Tanner Lectures presented by Margaret Redsteer. Margaret Redsteer’s Tanner Lectures, “Climate Futures and Structural Paradigms,” will draw on her experiences working with local Indigenous communities to adapt to a changing climate and will consider what has been left out of narratives about the challenges we face. This lecture will focus on how the historical implementation of policies led to significant failures and to current attitudes about reform of land use practices. The Tanner Lectures are free and open to the public. Free parking is available at the Broadway Garage (7 Felton Street, Cambridge). About the Speakers <a href="https://www.uwb.edu/ias/faculty-and-staff/margaret-redsteer">Dr. Margaret Hiza Redsteer</a> teaches at the University of Washington Bothell and previously served as a Research Scientist for the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey based in the Flagstaff Science Center, where she worked on water issues for the Navajo Nation. She examines interactions of different landscape processes, including erosion by wind and water and how changing vegetation communities and climate can influence these processes and exacerbate geologic hazards. In the Southwest, she has examined aspects of drought and increasing aridity that have not been well quantified, including seasonal changes to surficial processes and ecologic conditions. Incorporating Indigenous knowledge from tribal elders about the changes they have observed has aided her research in elucidating the effects of increasing temperatures in poorly monitored regions of the U.S. and communicates the relevance of ecosystem change to the livelihoods of those who are most vulnerable. <a href="https://law.arizona.edu/rebecca-tsosie">Rebecca Tsosie</a> is a Regents Professor at the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. Professor Tsosie, who is of Yaqui descent, is a faculty member for the Indigenous Peoples’ Law and Policy Program at the University of Arizona, and she is widely known for her work in the fields of Federal Indian law and indigenous peoples’ human rights.
