Event Details
This conversation on Buddhism and Ecology addresses the notions of wild and rewilding from both internal and external perspectives; how can wildness be understood in relation to contemplative practice, as cultivation of the wilderness around us and a felt sense of the wild in ourselves? The conversation draws from the work of Gary Snyder, an award-winning writer, environmentalist, and Buddhist practitioner, and by using visual prompts from Kaisu’s environmental art.
Dr. Kaisu Koski is a cross-disciplinary artist with a background in performance, film, and biological materials. She collaborates with scientists, clinicians, and engineers, focusing on the climate crisis, multispecies relationships, and the art-science methodology. Kaisu is an Associate Professor of Art and Design at Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK.

Event Details
The media often portrays our climate future as a choice between bleak and bleaker, which may seem justified given the many impacts of global warming that we are already seeing. But it doesn’t have to be that way, because if we understand the science behind global warming, then we can also see a pathway to its solution. In this presentation, Dr. Bennett will give you a brief overview of the surprisingly simple basic science behind global warming and of the consequences we can expect from this warming. He will then explain how we can in principle take the steps necessary to envision a “post-global warming” future, meaning a future in which today’s children will someday be able to talk about global warming as a once-serious problem that we found a way to solve. Note: This talk builds upon Dr. Bennett’s freely posted global warming primer.
Bennett, an astronomer and published science writer many times over, makes the science behind global warming clear and easy to understand in the hopes of defining its solutions and making them accessible to all.
He estimates reaching more than 10,000 people in 25 cities during his 2015 Relativity Tour, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment (CHE), we’re hosting a series of informal, online conversations with leading thinkers, researchers and innovators in the field of environmental health and justice.
Our fourth CHE Café is co-hosted by The New School at Commonweal, and will feature a conversation between Dr. Linda Birnbaum and Dr. Ami Zota, two innovative leaders in efforts to promote environmental health and justice in the U.S..
The harm to human health of chemical exposures is now recognized as a global crisis on par with climate change and biodiversity loss. Effectively addressing this challenge means adopting new approaches that recognize the complexity of systems with multi-disciplinary approaches, prioritize precaution and prevention, and address disproportionate impacts and environmental injustices.
The conversation will explore current progress and challenges in the field, and how best to move toward a world with air, water and food that doesn’t threaten human health.

Join us to hear from travelers on the Journey for Justice 2022. What did we witness? A panel will talk about what they saw and what they didn’t see on our 2,200 mile journey from Brownsville TX to San Ysidro CA in December 2022. The Journey for Justice was an opportunity to shine a light on the effects of inhumane immigration policies and learn about the work of our border partners to greet migrants with dignity and respect.

Barry Lopez had no illusions about the seriousness of our global crisis, yet he also felt a deep conviction about the power of hope and the sources of renewal in the living world. Syntax of the River is an extended conversation spanning three days between Lopez and Julia Martin in which he explores what this juxtaposition means for him as a writer.
