I've Been Black This Whole Time: The N Word, the Great Outdoors & Finding Common Ground
–
Virtual MiddleburyOpen to the Public

Climbing, hiking and hanging outdoors - what does the N word have to do with outdoor recreation and all things green? Cultural appropriation. Invisibility. DEI. It’s not easy being green. And why should we care?
Rapper and climbing industry professional Devin Dabney and Franklin Environmental Center scholar-in-residence Dr. Carolyn Finney have something to say about it. Join them for a lively conversation moderated by Meagan Tan ‘21 and Andrés Oyaga ‘23. Bring your good questions & open hearts!
