Steingraber's 1st Public Appearance Following Incarceration
Join GWST in welcoming her to the Korenman lecture
Environmental activist Dr. Sandra Steingraber will be speaking at UMBC on Monday, April 29 at 4 p.m. on the 7th floor of the Albin O. Kuhn Library, at the Gender + Women's Studies Korenman lecture. This lecture will be her first public appearance following her incarceration for civil disobedience.
Steingraber, an Ithaca College professor, was recently sentenced to serve time in jail for blocking access to a storage site for fracked gas, then refused to pay her bail. She has been a leader of the fight in New York state to keep frackers at bay.
Dr. Steingraber wrote an Earth Day letter from jail, and will speak on Monday about the environment, fracking, and her recent arrest and incarceration. Join us!
