Scholarship
Dr. Corrie Grosse and Brigid Mark '20 published an article based on research they conducted at the 2019 United Nations climate change negotiations, which CSB/SJU students can apply to attend each year. The peer-reviewed article, “A colonized COP: Indigenous exclusion and youth climate justice activism at the United Nations climate change negotiations,” is published in a special climate activism issue of The Journal of Human Rights and the Environment.
