Please welcome Jennifer Browdy de Hernandez, who blogs about social and environmental justice and advocacy issues at Transition Times. Jennifer also has a keen interest in the role that media can play in social and environmental justice advocacy and we encourage you to check out her work.

Here’s the information from the About page at Transition Times:

She is an associate professor of comparative literature at Bard College at Simon’s Rock, where she teaches world literature, gender studies, media studies, and environmental and social justice advocacy through literature and media.
