Climate Justice Universities: Another Education Is Possible

A presentation from 2023–2024 Radcliffe-Salata Climate Justice Fellow Jennie C. Stephens

Jennie C. Stephens is the Dean’s Professor of Sustainability Science and Policy at Northeastern University’s School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs. She is the author of “Diversifying Power: Why We Need Antiracist, Feminist Leadership on Climate and Energy,” which argues that effectively addressing the climate crisis requires diversifying leadership and redistributing wealth and power to move toward a more integrated, holistic transformative climate justice approach.

At Radcliffe, Stephens is completing her book manuscript, provisionally titled “Climate Justice University: Another Education Is Possible,” which reimagines how higher education could accelerate transformative social innovation toward a more just, healthy, and stable fossil fuel–free future. The book proposes a paradigm shift to leverage the untapped potential of institutions of higher education to advance systemic social change to reduce growing health inequities, economic injustices, and climate vulnerabilities.
