CFS Guest Speaker Series: Dr. Ann Lopez on Farmworker Realities + Center for Farmworker Families

​Join Climate Farm School in welcoming Dr. Ann López for this installment of our Guest Speaker Series! Dr. López will be speaking on farmworker realities and share her research and efforts at the Center for Farmworker Families.

​Dr. Ann López is the Executive Director of Center for Farmworker Families. She is an emerita professor and taught courses in biology, environmental science, ecology, and botany in the biology department at San José City College for many years.

​Dr. Lopez’ research findings while interviewing central California farmworker families and their family members in Mexico were fundamentally disturbing and life transforming. As a result, she is actively attempting to create awareness about the Human Rights abuses that are endemic to every juncture of the migrant circuit. She has also initiated many projects on both sides of the border designed to alleviate some of the inordinate suffering experienced daily by migrant farm workers and their family members in Mexico.
