Wed, September 10, 2014 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM WOODWARD LIBRARY. Free. Why, after 20 years of discussion on climate change, do so many people ignore the science and evidence of their own eyes? UBC Reads Sustainability’s first speaker of 2014, George Marshall, draws on the social psychology of climate change to tackle this question.
Marshall's UBC Reads Sustainability talk explores how a deeper understanding of the psychological obstacles to the question can lead us to find new and effective ways to think, talk, and act. His talk will challenge the bipartisan barriers of politics and worldview and build conviction based on common values and shared purpose.
