Here is a video of my keynote speech at the joint Concordia University (Montreal) and Siena College (New-York State) conference on globalization. My presentation focused on Eco-Socialism and how I have pursued party politics from a left wing youth perspective.
The speech focuses on the interactions between social movements and sustainability, the 2012 Québec student strikes, the Idle No More movement, the impact of corporate money in politics both in Canada and the United states as well as the eco-socialist transformation we have achieved in the Green Party of Québec and what inspired me to be involved in provincial politics.
Special thanks to the conference organizers, Adan E Suazo, Rosemarie Schade, the Loyola college for diversity and sustainability, Concordia University, Siena College and all those who participated!
This Friday I will be giving a Keynote speech at the Concordia-Siena Conference on Globalisation, Social Action, Biodiversity and Sustainability.
My talk will focus on the links between social action and sustainability as well as youth involvement in politics and environmental movements.
Thank you to the Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability, the Concordia Faculty of Arts and Science, Sienna College in New-York State, Adan E Suazo of the Loyola Sustainability Research Center, as well as my fellow presenters and conference participants.
