Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of non-violent vs. violent means of achieving policy changes and global commitment to addressing the damaging effects of climate change! David Spataro will lead a reading of the book “How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire” by Andreas Malm.
From the publisher’s site: “The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven’t we moved beyond peaceful protest?”
Meetings will be held over Zoom from 11:30-12:30 every other Friday: April 12, 26, May 10, 24, and June 7th.
Eligible faculty participants will receive a $250 stipend for participation in at least four of the five Zoom meetings, and all participants will get a copy of the book. Open to faculty and staff.
Register here by April 26 (late registrants, please do attend the last four sessions).
Please contact David Spataro, david.spataro@bellevuecollege.edu for more information.
