IUN Sustainability Speakers Series

How do the ways we imagine climate change—in terms of our cultural identities and values, the kinds of stories we engage, and the images we view—influence how we understand and respond to the issue?

This talk will engage with how we imagine (and represent) climate change and why it matters, including various forms of public discourse as well as literature, film, and the visual arts. It will explore how people with different cultural identities—including different political affiliations, educational backgrounds, races, and socioeconomic situations—tend to respond to climate change differently; how those differences have polarized us; and what we can do to envision and address the problem more effectively together.

This is a virtual event.
