Special topic presentation by Ithaca College's media literacy initiative, Project Look Sharp.
While scientists have been moving towards consensus on the realities of climate change, pubic opinion has been moving in the opposite direction. Why? What role do the popular media play in influencing public understanding about global warming? And what can (or should) we do about it? Chris Sperry and Dan Flerlage, authors of Project Look Sharp’s Global Warming curriculum kit, will address these questions through a thought-provoking and interactive presentation for students, educators, activists and scientists.
WHEN: Wednesday, February 16th, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
WHERE: Ithaca College, 103 Textor Hall.
