Climate change. Immigration. Human trafficking. Nuclear war. What can we learn when we see these not as separate issues, but ones that are inherently related? 

Join me as I interview Sister Marie Cigrand on her order's environmental justice work and how intersectionality has come to define the most prominent issues of our day. 

Sister Marie Cigrand is a vowed member of the Sisters of St. Francis in Dubuque, Iowa. Raised on an Iowan farm by parents with strong environmental values, she has spent the last 42 years as a religious sister. She chairs three groups (Socially Responsible Investing Working Group, Green Team, Environmental Concerns Subcommittee) and is a member of the Laudato Si Committee.
