Ben Bridges

2:12 PM - 2:23 PM

Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), a concept encapsulating non-Western epistemologies related to the environment, has entered into political, academic, and activist lexicons in recent decades. This poster explores TEK in environmentally focused policies and statements in Southeast Alaska, noting the distinctions between the ways in which different parties invoke the term.

French Polynesia is currently still partially under French control. As French Polynesia is a SIDS, they are facing extreme weather events and sea level rise. French resource extraction and a nuclear test site have degraded their environment. I will examine the environmental justice components of this situation in relation to eco-governance and development projects.

Session 1D The Power of Film in the Climate Crisis

Melody Gao

2:48 PM - 2:59 PM

Films on climate change and environmental topics have been incorporated into community environmental education efforts. Individuals are able to get exposure to climate issues and available solutions through film. Using a sociological lens, individual perceptions of environmental films and actions following the viewing of such films are analyzed to gain a better understanding of how cinematic storytelling impacts climate action.
