International Conference on Social and Environmental Justice

May 1 - 2, 2023

Fordham School of Law

On May 1st and 2nd, Fordham University will host an International Conference on Social and Environmental Justice to be held at the Fordham School of Law. Through this conference, we plan to listen to a variety of voices that will speak to social and environmental justice issues and potential solutions.  The conference looks to engage academics, intellectuals, artists, activists, and students alike to imagine a more just and humane landscape for our world.

Two days of panels will fall under the categories of disability, digital, immigration, and environmental justice, and four keynote speakers will present on related topics.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is past, and registration will open on February 16.
