Organized by , this Colloquium on September 20, 2019 in the Birks building听(3520 University St.) brings together several McGill scholars to discuss the many intersections between religion and climate change, and how handed-over traditions from ancient times and from east and west can inform us how to better respond to the effects of present-day climate change. This includes not only catastrophic influences to the natural world in which we live, but also encompasses changes to our lives, our hopes and fears (increased anxiety, depression, doomsday feelings) as well as changes in society and politics (from new literary and movie genres, to discussions about divesting, immigration politics, inter-national relations etc.). With Professors Stephanie Posthumus, Darin Barney, Gregory Mikkelson, David Goodin and others.
