Description
This discussion is an opportunity to reflect back on what our community has been learning through this Transforming Crisis series. We will engage with a diverse group of panelists and embark on a thoughtful conversation about the climate crisis, what it means to our communities, and how artists, scientists, and activists can work together to propel meaningful change. The conversation will be guided by moderator Madeleine Charney (research libararian specializing in sustainability). Over the course of an hour and a half, the panelists will dig into important issues, share their experiences, and offer insight into the path forward. Panelists will include: Miwa Matreyek (our featured artist), Malcolm Sen (sustainability scholar), Rob DeConto (climate scientist), Emmalie Dropkin (UMass MFA alum, fiction writer, teacher, and climate activist), and Lauren de la Parra (UMass Sustainability Science alum, writer, artist, and climate resilience planner). This event is co-sponsored by the MFA for Poets and Writers and the School of Earth & Sustainability.
