Theologian and philosopher Norman Wirzba helps us understand how reframing climate change as a crisis of culture can chart a way out of our current predicament.
Wirzbaโs work centers on actively pursuing hope as a means to build the world in which we wish to live. Drawing on his background and teaching experiences, Wirzba, a professor with Duke Divinity School, explains how his ethics of care have helped him work toward a better world.
Letโs Talk About Climate Change is an interdisciplinary class for first-year students that encourages exploration of climate change from perspectives in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts. Incoming students will see it offered as part of the How Does Climate Affect Our World Constellation series.
