How Culture
Shapes the Climate Change Debate
with Andrew Hoffman
Wednesday, February 13
4:30 p.m. – 6 p.m.
107 Talbert Hall
North Campus
What causes people to reject or accept the scientific consensus
on climate change?
Though the scientific community largely agrees that climate
change is underway, debates about this issue remain fiercely polarized.
Hoffman makes a case for a more scientifically literate public,
a more socially engaged scientific community and a more thoughtful mode of
public discourse. Synthesizing evidence from sociology, psychology and
political science, Hoffman lays out the opposing cultural lenses through which
science is interpreted and extracts lessons for engendering a better
understanding of the problem and possible ways to bridge the divide on this
important issue.
About the Speaker:
Andrew (Andy) Hoffman is the Holcim (US)
Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan; a position
that holds joint appointments in the Stephen M. Ross School of Business and the
School of Environment and Sustainability. His research uses organizational
behavior models and theories to understand the cultural and institutional
aspects of environmental issues for organizations. He has published more than
100 articles/book chapters, as well as 14 books, which have been translated
into five languages. He earned his PhD from MIT in Management and
Civil/Environmental Engineering.
Sustainable Urban Environments Initiative
The College’s Sustainable
Urban Environments Initiative is focused on leveraging our unique faculty
strengths in sustainability to engage Buffalo and the region in efforts to
create the sustainable city of the future. Under inaugural director, Susan
Clark’s leadership, the initiative will build consensus, develop a culture of
shared goals and success, and foster communication with regional and campus
partners, including the UB Office of Sustainability
As a UB Honors College alumnus, I wanted to share an event
series that the International Institute of Buffalo is hosting that I think
Honors College Students might be interested in. We are hosting Great Decisions, a nine-week
community discussion series held in collaboration with the Foreign Policy
Association (FPA).
The International Institute recruits local experts from universities and
organizations to speak about critical foreign policy topics and to facilitate
discussion among program participants. It’s an event that encourages community
members to think like foreign policy makers on a broad range of topics.
All participants have the opportunity to complete national opinion ballots for
each session, which the FPA puts in a report to the White House, the
Departments of State and Defense, members of Congress, the media, policy
researchers and concerned citizens. We encourage participants to discuss how
national policies are impacting the local Buffalo community. The fee is $7 for
walk-ins and $5 for educators & students.
I’ve attached the GD schedule with the list of topics and
speakers. The Facebook events can be found here.
If you could pass this along to interested students, we
would appreciate it!
Best,

The
Child Health and Behavior Lab (HABLAB) at the University of Buffalo is looking
for undergraduate students to assist with research studies during Summer & Fall
2019. These research experiences would be under the leadership of Dr. Stephanie
Anzman-Frasca, who conducts laboratory- and community-based studies in the area
of children’s eating behavior and obesity prevention. More information about
Dr. Anzman-Frasca’s work is available here: https://medicine.buffalo.edu/faculty/profile.html?ubit=safrasca
Responsibilities
of student research assistants include: assisting with material preparation,
entering data, and helping staff in the implementation of the study design. It
is anticipated that students will have the opportunity to work directly with
study participants, including parents and children, in laboratory and/or
community studies. Students may be asked to commit to evenings or weekends to
work with participants; however, we are also looking for students who are
available during mornings/afternoons. All incoming research assistants must be
able to commit to at least 10 hours of research per week, with preference given
to students who can commit to at least two semesters.
Interested
students can apply by submitting an application and a resume
to ubhablab@gmail.com, using
“Student research assistant application 2019” as the subject of the email.
Applications may be downloaded at http://ubhablab.weebly.com/students. We anticipate reviewing applications during
February, with an initial round of interviews planned for March 2019.
