Friday, March 22nd | 3:00 pm -5:00 pm | Information Commons, 4th floor | STREAMING LIVE

Tracy Perkins is a Ph.D. student in Sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.  She will present Voices from the Valley (www.voicesfromthevalley.org), a public sociology project that uses theater, photography, and digital media to raise the profile of environmental justice advocacy in California's San Joaquin Valley. She will reflect on the project's origins and continued development, its relationship to her teaching and research, and the possibilities and pitfalls of working across the campus-community divide.
