“Writing at the Limits of Narrative: A Panel on Climate Change” 

 

Thursday, April 25th @ 4:30 pm

 

Humanities Quadrangle (HQ) L02

 

 

 

What is the role of storytelling in climate crisis? Can new stories build new realities, or can storytelling itself distract from the more prosaic difficulties of policymaking and activism? Join us for a panel discussion on the role–and limits–of narrative in a changing climate, with three storytellers working at the intersection of writing and activism: New York Times best-selling author Jeff VanderMeer, feminist science studies scholar and professor of women and gender studies at Wellesley College Banu Subramaniam, and Grist climate fiction creative manager Tory Stephens. Professor Joanna Radin will moderate; reception to follow.

 

Open to all members of the Yale community and the public. Click here for more information on panelists, and full event details!
