Climate Change and the Humanities
Thanks to generous funding from the Environmental Change Institute and the Office of Sustainability, the IPRH has organized a lecture series focusing on humanities perspectives on climate change. Each of our five featured scholars brings a unique perspective to our understanding of the human dimensions and to the projected lived consequences of climate change as it is expected to progress in the coming decades. We are delighted to welcome the following lecturers to campus:
- November 10: Julia Cruikshank, Professor Emerita of Anthropology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver
- February 10: Andrew Light, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and Director of the Center for Global Ethics, George Mason University
- February 22: Carolyn Merchant, Professor of Environmental History, Philosophy and Ethics, University of California, Berkeley
- March 9: Rob Nixon, Rachel Carson Professor of English, University of Wisconsin Madison
- March 16: Jake Kosek, Associate Professor of Geography, University of California, Berkeley
- All lectures will be held at 7:30 p.m., Levis Faculty Center
More details about these speakers and their presentations can be found on the calendar of events, and in e-mail announcements that will be sent throughout the year. We hope you’ll join us for these important events as we consider the future these scholars will present.
