Joycelyn Longdon | Natural Connection
Fri 25 Apr 2025 | 4:30pm – 5:30pm
Joycelyn Longdon is a University of Cambridge environmental justice researcher, who shares her lyrical book Natural Connection to inspire us to view climate action as a shared goal rather than an individual burden.
Merging ancient wisdom with modern technology she examines 6 key pillars, RAGE, IMAGINATION, INNOVATION, THEORY, HEALING, CARE. The result is Natural Connection which brings together lessons from people of colour from the US to the UK, Brazil to India and Nigeria to Iran to showcase how the extraordinary acts of ordinary people have paved the way for today’s rapid technological changes. She will inspire us to better understand how we can all take up new roles in the fight for sustainability beyond the activist and observer binary, and find our way back towards our roots.
