Friday, April 11, 12:20pm: Clark 700 or via zoom:
Colloquium on Climate- and Community- Engaged Science
Join scientists in psychology and human development for a discussion that showcases ongoing engagement efforts and provides paths forward for anyone who wishes to engage.
Co-organized by Cornell on Fire Faculty Fellow Shimon Edelman at a time when fascism and climate catastrophe require finding our political voice "as well as a community where we can live rather than visit and preach."
Panelists include Marlen Gonzalez, Khena Swallow, Nora Prior, Anthony Burrow, Laura Niemi, Elizabeth Riley, and Shimon Edelman.
Panelists will present diverse lines of work that challenge the traditional notion — popular among mainstream academics and the administrators who rule over them — that community engagement is a distraction, if not an actual threat to the academy's alleged apoliticism. Can the academy pretend to be free of worldly trammels while working to reproduce the structure of the governing elites, and pretend to be apolitical while reinforcing the politics of class privilege and power?
