The BIG Book Debate @ College Hall 100
Oct 8 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Does climate anxiety motivate action — or create paralysis? Is individual action enough, or should the focus be on systemic change?

Join students, faculty and staff for a lively debate inspired by “A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety” from 10 a.m.-noon on Thursday, Oct. 8 in College Hall 100 or on this Zoom link. Participants will examine multiple perspectives, challenge assumptions and engage in thoughtful dialogue about some of today’s most important environmental and social questions based on the cases at this link. Come ready to think critically, listen respectfully, ask questions and perhaps even change your mind.
