> About our Speakers
> Mary Finley-Brook: Mary Finley-Brook grew up playing in the Vermont woods near her home. Her childhood was spent outside in nature and inside reading. Her family rarely watched TV, so nature and reading were her passtimes. At 14, Mary discovered that she loved international travel. When she traveled to Mexico and Guatemala at age 17, she began a lifelong interest in Central America. In 1997 her travels brought her to Nicaragua, and it was there that she met her husband. They have two daughters and a son.
>
> Mary received her BS degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Vermont, a Master's degree in Latin American Studies from Tulane University, and a PhD in Geography, Environmental Studies, and Global Studies fromthe University of Richmond. She serves on the Virginia Governor's Advisory Council on Environmental Justice. She also works with the Virginia Environmental Justice Collaborative and the Southeast CARE Coalition.
>
> Mary has written countless articles on environmental justice, the dangers of natural gas and other energy infrastructure, and environmental racism.
>
> Prof. Stephen Metts: Stephen is a Geographic Information System (GIS) analyst. He designs ways to map information about communities, land, and the build-out of infrastructure. He received his M.A. from Clark University and is an associate professor at the New School in New York City.
>
> Stephen is the founding principal of Geospex, a GIS consultancy specializing in cartographic design. His work focuses on ways communities are impacted by fracking, coal mining, natural disasters, and other intrusions. His work can provide researchers information they need to understand about what went wrong when a pipeline leaked, or when there was a natural gas explosion. His data maps can tell us if only older pipelines are in danger of leaking or if newer ones are too. Stephen's work can detect if there was a breach of legal environmental requirements.
>
> The collaborative work of Mary Finley-Brook and Stephen Metts provides a comprehensive account of the consequences of our energy sources, including the extent of energy violence we're inflicting and who is most impacted.
