Discover how joy—not fear—can be a powerful force in the fight for environmental justice. In this free and thought-provoking talk, scholar and storyteller Carlos Tarin explores the idea of ecological joy: a radical, relational approach to climate resistance rooted in connection, resilience, and care.

Learn how joy can cultivate community and action in the face of crisis—and how the Chihuahuan Desert and El Paso’s cultural landscape offer a unique lens for imagining a more just, hopeful, and life-affirming future.

Perfect for anyone passionate about environmental justice, communication, and the beauty of the more-than-human world.
