For over three years he followed scientists from a wide range of disciplines at work in the Arctic\, Antarctic\, Southern Ocean\, New Zealand\, Europe and the United States. They talk about their work\, their hopes and fears with a rare candor and directness\, resulting in an intimate portrait of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet’s changing climate and provide a compelling case for rising CO2 as the main cause.” Visit thiniceclimate.org to learn more about the film and the efforts to fund its creation. Location: Berkshire Dining Hall\, Midtown campus. Registration is required at https://wcsutickets.regfox.com/celebrate-earth-day-with-the-wcsu-libraries. \n5 to 7 p.m. – Climate Discussion – “Tesla won’t fix climate change” with Associate Professor of Social Sciences Dr. Manoj Misra.

SUMMARY:Kathwari Honors Program Public Talk
DESCRIPTION:KATHWARI HONORS PROGRAM PUBLIC TALK: The Kathwari Honors Program will welcome Dr. Brandon Brown\, author of “Sharing our Science: How to Write and Speak STEM\,” at 7 p.m. in Room 127 of White Hall on the university’s Midtown campus. Brown will discuss “Science Miscommunication: A Lighthearted Diagnostic Approach to a Serious Problem.” The public is invited. Register to attend here. \nThe explosion of technology that dominates our culture and economy in the last several years\, such as social media\, remote working culture\, the streaming services changing the broadcast industries\, medical and pharmaceutical research\, and artificial intelligence\, has made the ability to communicate clearly about science and technology a premium skill. So it’s not a luxury but a necessity for students in STEM fields as well as established professionals to learn and apply the kinds of lessons and strategies that Brown has culled from his own work and his research on the Apollo Moon Mission. Brown was on campus several years ago as one of the first winners of the Housatonic Book Award from the MFA in Creative and Professional Writing for his biography “Planck: Driven by Vision.” As he demonstrated then\, Brown’s work is interdisciplinary and adaptable to any field of science and technology\, and we warmly invite guests from local and regional technology firms. \nBrown is a professor of Physics and a communications specialist at the University of San Francisco. He has written for Slate\, Smithsonian and Scientific American. He also has served as deputy director at the Green Science Policy Institute and as a senior writing coach for the Strictly Speaking Group.

Thirty of the 120+ paintings from the book were recently featured in an exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge\, MA.

SUMMARY:Art Faculty Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:ART FACULTY LECTURE SERIES – “WHAT IS CREATIVITY? THEORY AND APPLICATION OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS” CREATIVITY WORKSHOP WITH FRANCIS PATNAUDE: At 6:30 p.m. in Room 144 of the Visual & Performing Arts Center on the WCSU Westside campus. Free and open to the public; limited seating available. \nWCSU Adjunct Professor of Art Francis T. Patnaude attended Southern Connecticut State University\, earning a B.S. in Art Education in 1975. He earned a B.F.A. in Studio Arts From Northern Kentucky University in 1978 and an M.F.A. in Sculpture from Syracuse University in 1982. Patnaude also earned a certificate in welding\, completing a full Welder Certification program at Northern Kentucky Vocational/Technical School in Covington\, Kentucky. He served as studio assistant at Studio 70 under the direction of Michael Skop\, sculptor\, and studied photography under John Daido Loori. After working for five years as an art/welder/fabricator for various artists\, Patnaude has been teaching art at Rumsey Hall School in Washington\, Connecticut\, since 1988. In addition to teaching color and design at WCSU\, he is also developing training methodologies and workshops in the area of creativity. Patnaude’s artwork consists of fabricated and cast metal sculpture\, collage\, video\, and spatial/environmental music compositions. \n“It is said that the function of the Zen Arts is to simply directly point to the true nature of reality. I believe that all art produced by human beings\, east and west\, past and present that truly nourishes the spirit and works with life as it’s media\, reflects this attitude. It is this awakened orientation combined with a methodology rooted in this awareness that finds its highest level of completion with the interweaving of society. How we as a people on this great earth honor our individual nature and yet realize that our world community is the base upon which this miraculous uniqueness rests\, is a question we must take up. Our survival depends on it. Art done with a foundation of spirit offers the opportunity to not only be a visionary guiding light\, but also a practice which directly manifest this insight. My artwork is simply an expression of working with this great matter.” \nhttp://www.francispatnaude.com

SUMMARY:World Philosophy Day: Ignorance\, Injustice\, and Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:WORLD PHILOSOPHY DAY – IGNORANCE\, INJUSTICE AND RESPONSIBILITY: To honor World Philosophy Day\, the Department of History\, Philosophy\, and World Perspectives invites you to a lecture on: Ignorance\, Injustice\, and Responsibility by Joshua Kassner J.D.\, Ph.D. \nWhen: 12:30 – 1:45 p.m.\, Thursday\, Nov. 16\nWhere: White Hall 307 \nIn recognizing the impact of digital communication and the speed with which information can be shared around the globe we reevaluate our understanding of ignorance as an excuse\, at least in matters of global injustice. We have a duty – as moral agents – to make reasonable efforts to be informed about the moral significance of our actions. Factual ignorance as an excuse applies in far fewer instances than is commonly thought. \nBio: Joshua Kassner is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Baltimore where he teaches courses in normative and applied ethics\, political philosophy\, and the philosophy of law. His research is focused on the global arena with specific interests in governing the normative framework of international relations. He has published on global justice\, international political theory\, and the morality of humanitarian intervention. Most recently\, he published a book on the moral nature and limits of state sovereignty (2021) and a chapter in an anthology on immigration\, human rights\, and state sovereignty (2022). Currently\, he is working on a book on human rights to be published later this year.

SUMMARY:The Future Isn't What it Used to Be: Green Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:THE FUTURE ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE: How do we implement Green Hydrogen and Fusion energies?  \nHuman civilization needs a reliable supply energy. When (if?) the brakes are put on fossil carbon\, we will need a variety of replacements. Some post-carbon sources are well known (solar\, wind\, hydro) while others are not.  We will learn that some solutions supply energy\, while others conserve it.  A note of caution from Mitch himself\, “The speaker is an ecologist\, not an engineer or city planner. Therefore\, definitive solutions are unlikely to be proposed. Many ideas will be discussed\, however\, and I hope that the audience will contribute some good ones.” \nThe C.H. Booth Library in Newtown will welcome Dr. Mitch Wagener\, Climate Change Educator\, WCSU Professor of Biology\, as part of its efforts to bring the 2023 UN Climate Conference in the United Arab Emirates\, Dubai  Nov. 30 – Dec. 12 to the attention of its patrons. \n\n\nDate:\nThursday Jul 13\, 2023\n\nTime:\n7  –  8:30 p.m.\n\nLocation: THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT\nC.H.
