SUMMARY:Compassionate\, Community-Centered Responses to the Drug Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Individuals\, families\, and entire communities across the country have experienced the effects of the substance use and a drug crisis in recent years. We often think about drug policy or addiction recovery as an issue affecting “individuals.” In this session\, we want to think about substance use and recovery in a broader sense\, exploring what happens when communities come together to address substance use in their local communities in positive ways that help individuals and the community to heal.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubstance use affects many people within communities\, including the impacted individuals\, family and friends\, librarians\, first responders\, and business owners. Frequent occurrences of substance use in a community can affect the community’s identity\, local economy\, and sense of safety. How do communities who have faced challenges or human loss due to substance use heal afterwards? How have restorative practices been helpful to communities struggling with these questions? Our speakers can share both practice and policy that build stronger\, healthier communities for everyone.  \n\n\n\nHosted by the Center for Justice Reform at Vermont Law and Graduate School\, this event is part of an ongoing online series\, “Healing Communities to Heal the World.”  \n\n\n\nEsteemed guest speakers include: \n\n\n\nRicardo Bowden\, Executive Director of Peer360Kateri Coyhis\, Executive Director of White BisonHon. Eric Mehnert\, Chief Judge of Penobscot Nation \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register in advance by clicking here.

In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “Animal Storytelling\,” will be presented by Stephanie Hanes\, environmental journalist and VLGS Animal Law Media Fellow. \n\n\n\nReporting and writing about non-human animals creates unique challenges for journalists.

So how do we pick what stories to tell about them—and how do we adjust our work to ensure we are accurately and effectively communicating about our natural world? In this talk\, Hanes will discuss some of the pitfalls and potential of covering animals for mainstream media. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Someone
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session will be presented by Kristen Stilt from Harvard Law School and a VLGS Distinguished Animal Law Summer Scholar. \n\n\n\nAn assumed division between human and nonhuman animals (and most of nature) has long been baked into most of Western culture and law. As effects of the Anthropocene bring humans and animals in closer and more frequent contact\, increasingly in emergency and catastrophic situations\, we are beginning to see more signs of awareness that humans and animals are not only ecologically but profoundly interdependent—and that each animal should not be categorized something\, but as someone. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.

In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Law Animal Welfare Laws and Policies\,” will be presented by Larry Carbone. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Carbone will explore the effect of using charismatic species (such as dogs\, primates\, and rabbits) to advance welfare reforms. Do new laws and practices crafted to accommodate interests of one species have a ripple effect that improves the lot of other animals? Or do special protections for one type of animal come at the expense of others? Carbone shows how both outcomes have occurred through the years\, and argues that activists should be mindful of arguments that elevate species we care about at the expense of those without a human constituency advocating for their interests. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.
