Join Saint Martin’s University’s faculty members Robert Hauhart and Irina Gendelman as they welcome Thurston County-based food sustainability leaders Kerensa Mabwa from GRuB, Fred Colvin from Colvin Ranch, T.J. Johnson from Sustainable South Sound and Sue Ujcic from Helsing Junction Farm as they discuss their roles in local food production and how their work contributes to sustainability and equitable food production.
This next installment of the Robert A. Harvie Social Justice Lecture Series will take place April 22 at 6:30 p.m. in Room 110 of the University’s Harned Hall.
The evening will include a 7:15 p.m. screening of Growing Cities: A film about urban farming in America, a 97-minute documentary by Nebraskan filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette. The film follows Susman and Monbouquette as they travel across America meeting “men and women who are challenging the way this country grows and distributes its food, one vacant city lot, rooftop garden and backyard chicken coop at a time.” A question-and-answer session with the panel will begin at 8:30 p.m.
