Wide Lens: CLIMATE

April 25 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Wide Lens

Rising seas, toxic rivers, deforestation, smoke-filled air—headlines remind us daily of the local, national, and international impacts of climate change. Join us for a wild pecha kucha ride through the effects of climate change with researchers who also tirelessly seek solutions. World-renowned climate scientist, Jerald Schnoor will open with big picture issues. That will set the stage for artist Isabel Barbuzza’s work on South American lithium salt mines, environmental literary scholar Eric Gidal’s work on Iowa’s watersheds, feminist anthropologist Meena Khandelwal’s engagement with Rajasthani villages in India, natural resource economist Silvia Secchirooting into the farms and rivers that surround us. Together, our Wide Lens presenters offer crucial insights into the challenges we face and hope that if we work together, change is possible.
