The talk will explore the involuntary cancer risks posed by exposures to agricultural chemicals in the Midwestern Corn Belt and examine the promises of agroecology as an alternative to industrial agriculture. Steingraber will also describe her lived experience as a young biologist diagnosed with cancer in rural Illinois and provide a human rights approach to the idea that “behind every data point in the cancer registry there is a human life.” Sponsored by the School of Health & Human Sciences, Center for Energy & Environmental Education, College of Social & Behavioral Sciences and College of Humanities, Arts & Sciences.
