The climate crisis confronts each of us, including and especially young people, with urgent questions and bewildering choices about how to live, what to learn, where to go, what to do, and who to be at this momentous historical crossroads. Building on Naomi Klein’s Margolin Lecture from the previous week, this event will bring together students and faculty to discuss how and why college (i.e. what we’re all doing right now) might matter, or might come to matter, as we confront increasingly turbulent planetary futures.

  This event will occur in Dana Auditorium with additional overflow seating available in Warner Hemicycle where the event will be live-streamed.   A talk by, and conversation with, Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren.   Moderator: Prof. Felicia Grey (Political Science)  Statesman, historian, and parliamentarian, Ambassador Michael Oren has devoted his life to serving Israel and the Jewish people around the world.

Come watch “Opening the Earth: the Potato King,” a documentary directed by Aaron Ebner, MIIS alum and founder of the Andean Alliance for Sustainable Development. This screening will be followed by a virtual moderated Q&A with food studies professor Molly Anderson. Filmed in Peru, the documentary centers on the story of “the guardian of biodiversity,” farmer Julio Hancco, and how his necessary agricultural work is at odds with our modernizing work.
