Parker McMullen Bushman Speaking Topics

  • Visioning for Effective Allyship

    An ally is a person who stands up for others to proactively build inclusion in our communities, schools and workplaces. Allyship is a lifelong process of building relationships based on trust, consistency, and accountability with marginalized individuals and/or groups of people. Not self-defined—work and efforts must be recognized by those you are seeking to ally with. This keynote outlines some critical ways we can all be stronger allies through practical and actionable steps.

  • Inclusive Leadership: Building Culturally Competent Organizations and Effectively Leading Diverse Team

    To be a successful organization in today’s diverse and changing environment, we need inclusive leaders who are energizing and motivating. Studies indicate that an organization that embraces and values inclusion as an integral part of its goals can have a positive impact on individual productivity, organizational effectiveness and sustained competitiveness. Inclusive leaders have the ability to create a workplace environment where each employee feels authentically valued, respected, and engaged in achieving the organizational mission and vision. This keynote will discuss how unconscious bias can influence systems and institutions and what cultural competence looks like at the organizational level.

  • How Did We Get Here? The Quest for Environmental and Climate Justice

    We can see a legacy of racism in the environmental disparities that current plague our nation and history tells a clear story about where we’ve landed today. Effects of past institutions have left racial and ethnic groups in disadvantaged social positions, and often times present institutions sustain the disadvantage of members of the racial groups unknowingly without immediate racist or discriminatory intent. This session will include a lecture on, and discussion of, the connections between socio-cultural inequity and environmental issues and a brief history of the EJ movement

  • Why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is Vital to Conservation Goals

    Why Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice? Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice have become buzzwords that have been placed strategically in organizational mandates, inspired the formation of DEIJ committees, and/or simply sparked critical dialogue around organizational culture. But do we know what these words really mean and how do we put this work into action in the environmental field. In this session participants will learn about the history of inclusion in public lands, how we incorporate DEIJ principles into our work and the importance of creating welcoming spaces so that all people may become environmental stewards who will advocate for and protect our most precious public resources – our land, water, trees, open spaces and wildlife.

  • Social Justice and Nature Education: The Important Link that Will Save the World

    Children from very young ages internalize messages about power and privilege with regard to gender, race/ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation, which they perpetuate through their play and talk. The link between Social justice and Nature Education offers a much-needed vision for environmental education in the face of the challenges weighing on our nation and confronting the planet. Join Parker McMullen Bushman as she talks about the links between the social and environmental justice movements and education outdoors.

  • Growing Resilience in a Climate Challenged Future

    While traditional understandings of environmental education include studying ecology and other natural topics, environmental justice education fosters a critical understanding of the environment within the context of human political and social actions. Many marginalized communities experiencing environmental injustices are also those most vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis. Environmental educators have a unique opportunity to empower communities living within impacted areas to take a stand for justice with the tools necessary to make change. Environmental educators can also educate those outside of impacted areas to stand up for global environmental justice. During this training we will discuss the connections between socio-cultural inequities, environmental issues and the power of EE to make change.
