Kristina J. Peterson, facilitator-director of the Lowlander Center in Gray, Louisiana, will present “Climate Displacement: A Second Chance to Get it Right,” a public discussion on Tuesday, March 26 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at S131 Integrated Learning Center. Peterson will discuss her belief that climate displacement might create an opportunity to change the course on economic inequality and urban planning; that the displacement of populations–be it from small towns, tribes or communities within cities–does not have to follow traditional models of urban renewal and gentrification.
