This April, cultural and resource centers will host events exploring environmental justice issues and how they impact our communities and highlighting the effort of leaders from historically marginalized communities. Lectures, book clubs, film screenings, and a field trip will provide students with unique opportunities to further explore environmental justice theory and praxis. Ecofeminism is an ideology and movement that sees climate change, gender equality, and social injustice in society. Visit go.illinois.edu/ecojustice2026 to see the full calendar of events!

In many Indigenous worldviews, home is not defined by a single structure or fixed location. Rather, home-places emerge from a constellation of relationships (land-based, kin-based, ancestral, and cosmological) that both ground one’s identity and shape one’s responsibilities. Within this framework, the Native American House (NAH) becomes more than a physical space: it is animated through the cultural understandings and daily practices of its professional and student staff, who collectively expand what it means for NAH to serve as a “home away from home.”
