Addressing the urgent impacts of climate change, particularly on vulnerable communities, requires us to reconsider how we approach science. It requires a new approach to scientific leadership that centers justice and diverse approaches to knowing and being in the world. This event will showcase and celebrate scholars whose scientific leadership in addressing climate change reflects the values at the foundation of the Center for Reimagining Leadership: equitable access, multimodal expertise, responsible stewardship, and accountability. The event will illuminate why the pursuit of science—and by extension scientific excellence—is inseparable from the humans who animate it.
