Martin Puchner, Byron and Anita Wien Professor of Drama and of English and Comparative Literature, will present on "Storytelling and Climate Change."
In this workshop, we will look at some of the most important examples of storytelling to ask: what stories have humans told each other about the environment for the last 4000 years, from apocalyptic floods to the end of the world? Are these the stories we should be telling now, in the face of climate change? Are there under appreciated forms of climate writing that we should use?
