Climate Change
Dr. Thea Iberall from Jewish Climate Action Network (JCAN) began focusing on the climate crisis in 2011 when she was doing research for The Swallow and the Nightingale, her ecofeminist novel about a 4,000-year-old secret brought through time by the birds. Thea has been published in anthologies and journals including in Blood to Remember: American Poets on the Holocaust. Her book of contextual poems, The Sanctuary of Artemis, traces the roots of patriarchal domination through poetry and essays. A storyteller and teacher, Iberall is an inductee into the International Educators Hall of Fame. Iberall has a Ph.D. from University of Massachusetts in computational neuroscience and is the author of three scientific texts. She has a leadership role in the Jewish Climate Action Network which works through education, activism, and organizing to add an urgent and visionary Jewish voice to the climate crisis.
