Vanessa Raditz (they/them) is a queer ecojustice educator, storyteller, and filmmaker. Their research uses collaborative documentary film to explore the contextual vulnerability of multiply-marginalized queer, trans, and two-spirit communities to climate change disasters, as well as the lessons for the climate justice movement that comes from these communities' resilience and histories of struggle for liberation. In this presentation, they will be sharing clips from their newest documentary project, "Can't Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines" and unpacking key findings on the interconnections between rising seas and rising state violence. Vanessa is in the IWS Certificate program and pursuing a Masters in Geography and a PhD in Educational Theory and Practice.
