Dear colleagues and friends, This friday we've added our CSSN Journalism Fellow in Residence Kate Aronoff to our lecture series. The talk is at 3:30-4:30pm. This one is live, so it's going to be tough taking remote questions, but we'll see if we can. Kate is a real thought leader on issues like the Green New Deal, writing for the New Republic and other outlets, and putting out books like her co-authored *A Planet to Win* and her new *Over Heated*. Both are worthy of consideration for classroom use, IMO.
You'll need to register at the link below. We also have on YouTube the earlier talks in the series, including Bill McKibben of 350.org, Neela Banerjee of NPR and InsideClimateNews, and Janet Redman of Greenpeace. Links are below. The lecture series is a joint project of the Climate Social Science Network and the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society. Hope it's of interest. Best, Timmons *The CSSN/IBES Fall Seminar Series: * *Overcoming Climate Obstruction* * Low-Carbon Populism vs. Fossil Capitalism* *A seminar with Kate Aronoff* Friday, October 22nd | 3:30pm ET *Please register <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/low-carbon-populism-vs-fossil-capitalism-tickets-188561310957> for in person or online tickets* The legislative process doesn't inspire much confidence about prospects for climate action. But there are few routes to taking on the climate crisis at scale that don't run through state power. How can climate policy help build democratic majorities capable of taking on the fossil fuel industry and the right, and reimagine the role of government in a climate changed century? Kate Aronoff is a staff writer at The New Republic covering climate and energy politics. She is the author of Overheated: How Capitalism Broke The Planet (Bold Type Books, 2021) and the co-author with Daniel Aldana Cohen, Alyssa Battistoni and Thea Riofrancos of A Planet To Win: Why We Need A Green New Deal (Verso, 2019). She is also the co-editor, with Michael Kazin and Peter Dreier, of We Own The Future: Democratic Socialism, American Style. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Harpers and The Guardian, among other outlets. Kate is a member of the Dissent editorial board, and serves on the Advisory Board of Jewish Currents. Kate is currently serving as Climate Social Science Network (CSSN) Fellow, and is investigating fossil fuel industry funding of campus energy centers at top-ranked universities, as well as the influence of industry trade associations on international climate negotiations. *Also, in case you missed them, here are links to our previous talks in this series:* - Bill McKibben: What’s Still Possible <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dN3HRcojcg> - September 17, 2021 - Neela Banerjee: The American Anomaly <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEgeT9czN2A> - October 01, 2021 *Add to calendar: *Apple <https://www.addevent.com/event/ar8403991+apple> Google <https://www.addevent.com/event/ar8403991+google> Office 365 <https://www.addevent.com/event/ar8403991+office365> Outlook <https://www.addevent.com/event/ar8403991+outlook> Outlook.com <https://www.addevent.com/event/ar8403991+outlookcom> Yahoo <https://www.addevent.com/event/ar8403991+yahoo> [image: Facebook] <http://www.facebook.com/brownenvsoc/> [image: Twitter] <http://www.twitter.com/brownenvt> [image: Instagram] <https://www.instagram.com/brownenvt/> [image: YouTube] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwi73X-v_0N1v2qdHMvy4Aw> [image: Website] <http://ibes.brown.edu> *Copyright © 2020 Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, All rights reserved.* *Our mailing address is:* IBES Brown University Box 1951 85 Waterman Street Providence, RI 02912 Want to change how you receive these emails?
