Engaging Indigenous Communities in System Design for Ecological Stewardship: a conversation with Sarah Augustine

Date: Thursday, September 10, 2026

Time: 4:00 PM

Venue: MIT Music and Theater Arts / Thomas Tull Concert Hall

City: Cambridge, MA

As co-founder of Suriname Indigenous Health Fund, Sarah Augustine encountered a systemic problem arising from mining effluent. With intervention mapping to address social and economic factors impacting indigenous people’s health in Suriname’s interior region, Sarah put her values and research skills into action. Now, as co-founder of the Coalition for Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery, she explores how axioms shape systems that lead to outcomes. Sarah will share stories from her work and discuss ways to put your values into action.
