In this BUSSW E&I Speaker Series event, geographer Brandon Rothrock discusses the intersection of LGBTQIA+ livelihoods and public health in the context of climate change. Rothrock explores how disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and other extreme weather events directly exacerbate existing social and environmental inequities for the LGBTQIA+ community, and challenges dominant narratives around disaster preparedness and response. 1 Massachusetts CE credit will be available to social workers licensed in the U. S. upon successful completion of a post-event quiz. If you wish to receive CE credits, please provide your license number in the registration form.
