Hunter’s presentation is part of the ongoing Richard K. Bennett Distinguished Lectureship for Peace and Social Justice series, which was established at the college in 1981 with a grant from the William Penn Foundation. The lectureship reflects the ideals of Bennett, a Quaker who devoted his life work to accomplishing peace and justice through non-violent efforts.

Hunter is the daughter of the late Robert Hunter, the first president of Greenpeace, and Bobbi Hunter, the first woman to save a whale by blocking a harpoon. During the past eight years, she hosted and co-produced four television documentaries for MTV News Canada’s Impact, and was a former eco-blogger for This Magazine. In 2011, she published her first book, “The Next Eco-Warriors,” which provides an inside view of frontline environmental youth activism.
