Tuning into the Forest: Stories of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) in Nature

In this first episode, I talked with two professors of the Faculty of Forestry (FoF) that are leading the way in terms of challenging conversations, training, and ultimately, policies.

Dr. Sarah Gergel is a Full Professor and the first Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion at the Faculty of Forestry.

Her lab studies the impact of human activities on landscape dynamics.

Dr. Hisham Zerriffi is an Associate Professor and was recently appointed as the incoming Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion of the Faculty.

His lab studies the intersection of technology, energy, and the environment.


They both are very active on Twitter, here their Twitter handles:
