We are happy to announce a year-long series of lectures\/panels on the theme of Climate Justice and Resilience, and we\u2019d like to draw your attention to four upcoming events that you and your students may wish to attend.\u00a0The series was initially organized in the “Climate Curriculum and Action” faculty summer institute and builds on extensive cross-divisional work on climate studies during the summer and past year.\u00a0We greatly appreciate the collaboration of many colleagues as organizers, speakers, and hosts.\u00a0Below please find information on four upcoming lectures (which will also be accessible later as asynchronous recordings), and on the series overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About\nthe series:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\naim for the Climate Justice and Resilience events to be approximately biweekly\nthroughout the year. Each event is hosted by a different Evergreen\nprogram, and Evergreen guests are welcome to attend either synchronously (at a\ntime fixed by the host program) or asynchronously (webinar recordings will be\navailable as soon as possible after the event).  This work builds on\nseveral climate-related summer institutes, last year\u2019s \u201cbig bets\u201d climate proposal,\nand the visioning for potential incorporation of climate-related curricular\nareas into New Academic Directions. In addition, the 2-credit class \u201cClimate\nAcademy: Justice and Resilience\u201d (currently sponsored by Rachel Hastings) will\nbe offered each quarter based on this event series and associated readings. The\nclass and series used this year’s Common Read (Solnit’s A Paradise\nBuilt in Hell<\/em>) and the associated O-week faculty\/staff panel as a launching\npoint. More information on the 2020-21 Climate Speaker and Event Series,\nincluding speaker bios and links, is at https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/climatechange\/speaker-and-event-series\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please\ncontact us with your questions and suggestions, or if you\u2019d like to offer a\nlecture to the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
