Prof. discusses partisanship, treaty

By Emily Fletcher | November 22, 2009

DOUGLAS GONZALEZ / The Dartmouth Staff Government and Latin American, Latino and Caribbean studies professor Lisa Baldez pointed to partisan divisions to help explain why the United States remains one of only eight countries that have not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women in a lecture, "The Cold War and Women's Rights," held in Alumni Hall on Saturday. While most Americans are well informed about the construction of the Berlin Wall and the 1980 Olympic hockey victory over the Soviet Union, few know about CEDAW, a Cold War-era United Nations treaty designed to grant women equal rights worldwide, Baldez said When Baldez asked the audience, which consisted predominantly of Dartmouth alumni, how many had heard of CEDAW, only three people raised their hands. "The people of the United States are at a distinct informational disadvantage because we've never even heard about CEDAW," Baldez said. She attributed the United Nation's adoption of the treaty in 1979 to the work of a diverse coalition of well-known American female icons, Soviet women's rights activists, governments of non-aligned countries and "enlightened monarchs of Afghanistan and Iraq." "It's a nonbinding treaty, but nonetheless it's been incredibly important around the world in ensuring women's rights," Baldez said.

Exec. links environmentalism, justice

By Lindsay Brewer | November 22, 2009

The environmental movement is deeply rooted in notions of ethical responsibility and the development of strong communities, Peter Forbes '83, the co-founder and executive director of The Center for Whole Communities, said in his Friday lecture, "Social Justice and Environmentalism: Bridging the Gap." Although environmental protection and social justice are often approached separately, neither can be fully solved until they are considered together, Forbes said during the lecture, held in the Rockefeller Center. Forbes termed this new approach to environmentalism "Conservation 2.0" and branded it as an alternative to the current system of environmental and ethical activism. "To heal the Earth today, one must be concerned with the human heart and soul," Forbes said. Forbes identified 2042 and 2050 as two important years, as they mark the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's target year for an 80-percent cut in carbon emissions based on 1990 levels and the year that the United States Census Bureau predicted that minorities will outnumber white Americans, respectively. Any plan to solve environmental problems must be holistic enough to concern people who are primarily invested in social justice problems and must appeal to the interests of those from different socioeconomic classes, Forbes said. Even individuals who do not identify with the mainstream environmental movement are inherently invested in its outcome, Forbes said. Forbes cited many people he has worked with, including a local gardener from Harlem, N.Y., who make significant contributions that often go unnoticed by mainstream environmentalists.
