SUMMARY:Angry Girls on a Fiery Planet?: Girlhood and Environmental Crisis in Recent YA (Eco)Dystopias
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special presentation from Visiting Scholar\, Yıldız AƟar (University of Bamberg\, Germany). \nAngry Girls on a Fiery Planet?: Girlhood and Environmental Crisis in Recent YA (Eco)Dystopias \nFriday\, April 10\, from 1:30-3:30\nUMA Bangor Campus\, Lewiston Hall 119\nEmail sarah.hentges@maine.edu for the Zoom link \n\nIn June 2025\, President Trump commented on the detention of 22-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg during her humanitarian mission to Gaza\, referring to her as “a strange [
] young angry person” (Rasdien). In response\, Greta asserted\, “I think the world needs many more young angry women [
].That’s the thing we need the most of” (Giordano). Later\, in an interview in September 2025\, Greta explained her commitment to deliver aid to Gaza\, stating\, “we cannot pretend to care about the climate crisis while we ignore the suffering and oppression of people today. [
] If we only care about our white children’s future\, [
] that is not caring about justice” (Andrieu). By drawing connections between ongoing global conflicts and the climate crisis\, Greta highlights a nuanced ecofeminist perspective on the interconnectedness of social\, political\, and environmental issues and injustices while advocating for the transformative agency of “young angry women” in challenging these. \nSimilarly\, this talk will explore the fictional representations of young angry ‘girls’ in contemporary American speculative novels. Following the publication of Octavia Butler’s Parable series (1993-1999) and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy (2008-2010)\, an ever-growing body of novels – often manifesting as YA (eco)dystopias – demonstrates a strong narrative preoccupation with young adult girl protagonists. Furthermore\, these narratives intertwine girlhood coming-of-age with large-scale ecological disruption\, imagining vulnerable yet empowered protagonists who must navigate survival while growing up amid environmental crises of apocalyptic proportions. I argue that these novels tap into traditional understandings of American girlhoods and nature\, and envision a new ecofeminist heroine for the twenty-first century: a multiply marginalized girl who embodies both collective anxieties and hopes around survival\, resistance\, healing\, and the possibility of a better future in a devastated nonhuman environment. \nFocusing on Rebecca Roanhorse’s Indigenous futuristic Sixth World series (2017-2019)\, my discussion will bring together contemporary ecocritical\, ecofeminist\, and girlhood studies perspectives to make visible the emerging cultural connections between girlhood and the nonhuman environment in contexts of ecological risk\, crisis\, and resilience as shaped by recent YA (eco)dystopias.

SUMMARY:Dawnland film screening with panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:The President’s Council on Transforming Lives in partnership with Wabanaki REACH will host the showing of the Award winning Documentary “Dawnland\,” A Documentary About Cultural Survival and Stolen Children – The Story of the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The documentary film screening will take place as a hybrid event on Tuesday\, April 14th 11:00am – 1:00pm. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion. \nThis event will be primarily hosted in the Farber Forum\, Jewett Hall\, UMA Augusta Campus. Light refreshments will be served. \nThe UMA Rockland Center and the UMA Brunswick Center will also have in-person viewing rooms for anyone to join. \nAttendees may also join remotely via Zoom. \nThis event is open to all UMA students\, staff\, faculty\, and the general public. All are welcome. \n\n“In Maine\, a historic investigation—the first government-sanctioned truth and reconciliation commission in the United States—begins a bold journey. For over two years\, Native and non-Native commissioners travel across Maine. They gather testimony and bear witness to the devastating impact of the state’s child welfare practices on families in Maliseet\, Micmac\, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribal communities. Collectively\, these tribes make up the Wabanaki people.” – Adam Mazo / Ben Pender-Cudlip\, filmmakers \nDawnland follows the TRC to contemporary Wabanaki communities to witness intimate\, sacred moments of truth-telling and healing. With exclusive access to this groundbreaking process and never-before-seen footage\, the film reveals the untold narrative of Indigenous child removal in the United States. \nA discussion will follow the film and will include Esther Anne\, Passamaquoddy\, and Penthea Burns\, non-Native. Both are among the founders of the truth commission and Wabanaki REACH. “If we can work together in that good way [for the truth commission]\, in a system of mutual respect\, to work for our children\, then I think we can work together in anything because nothing is more sacred than our children.” – Esther Anne\, founder\, Wabanaki REACH \nView the Dawnland Trailer. \nWabanaki REACH is a non-profit organization that works towards a future when Wabanaki and Maine people join together to acknowledge truth and work collectively toward equity\, healing\, and positive change through our community education programs. Wabanaki REACH promotes Wabanaki wellbeing and deeply believes in the natural strength and beauty of Wabanaki culture\, language and ways of being. www.wabanakireach.org
