In partner ship with co-sponsors the Jackman Humanities Institute (JHI) and and the C entre for the Study of the United States (CSUS), the event will welcome g uest scholars and artists who are committed to – and practiced in – the cu rrent paradigm shift to less siloed climate change thinking. General Admis sion $20 | Students/Unwaged: $10Register here.The symposium will feature a rtists and humanities scholars in dialogue with scientists. \nSpeakers inc lude: Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech, is engag ed in a conceptually similar project, as she strives to develop better wa ys of translating climate projections and bridge the gap between scientist s and stakeholders. Diane Burko – whose visual art incorporates scientific data – will discuss her use of coral reef bleaching metrics in aesthetici zed images of underwater beauty. Cate Sandilands, of York University’s En vironmental Studies program – proposes new solutions to a persistent probl em: how to effectively communicate environmental crisis to a wide audience . Sandilands believes narrative is key: “Public climate change stories sha pe how we understand the present, imagine the future, and conceive of po ssible interventions between the now and the then.” Gavin Schmidt, of the NASA Institute for Space Studies, pairs his work on climate change drive rs with scientific context for pop culture discussions of environmental cr isis. Madhur Anand, a poet and a professor of ecology and environmental s ciences at the University of Guelph, where she mixes poetic and scientifi c approaches to articulating current and impending crises. Paul Kushner, an atmospheric physicist at the University of Toronto, studies the links between ice, snow, and changing atmospheric circulation, while advocati ng for scientists to speak up about the risks and realities of climate cha nge. Bhavani Raman, a JHI fellow and historian at the University of Toron to, who studies the history of colonialism and environmental law, with a particular focus on South Asia, such as in her exploration of the geogra phies of coastal flooding in Chennai.‘The Science and Art of Climate Chang e’ will extend the reach of ‘Strange Weather’ beyond 2019-2020. This sympo sium will be a key step in the School of the Environment’s exploration – e vident in April 2019’s cross-disciplinary colloquium ‘Imagining a Post-Car bon World’ – of better integrating humanists into the School. To this end\ , the event will explore both theories of cross-disciplinary work and meth odological questions of how exactly to enact such a timely and productive practice.If you require accommodation please contact us at environment@uto ronto.ca by November 18, 2019. \n1 Devonshire Place Toronto Ontario M5S 3 K7 \n\nCategories \n Symposium \n\nAudiences \n CommunityGraduate Students Undergraduate Students DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20191125T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20191125T160000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210616T160229Z LOCATION:1 Devonshire Place Toronto Ontario M5S 3K7 SUMMARY:Strange Weather: The Science and Art of Climate Change URL;TYPE=URI:https://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/strange-weather-sci ence-and-art-climate-change END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
