Creatively United for the Planet | The Barn's Burnt Down - Dr. Kathleen Dean Moore Presentation @creativelyunited | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Award-winning author and philosopher, Dr. Kathleen Dean Moore, launches Season Two of Creative Solutions for a New World - Climate and Artist Series with an inspiring and creative presentation, entitled The Barns Burnt Down, a title based on a Haiku poem.
Kathleen Dean Moore explains how global catastrophes have burnt down business as usual scenarios and exposed violence and injustice that has supported capitalist extractive industries with the status quo an avenue for disaster. She explores a global re-framing of where, why, and how we live with her moral insistence that we use the post pandemic period to rebuild ethical structures so we get it right this time.
Kathleen Dean Moore, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, was for many years Distinguished Professor of Environmental Philosophy at Oregon State University, until she left academia to write and speak full-time about the moral urgency of climate action. Her climate-ethics books are Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril, Great Tide Rising, and the forthcoming Bearing Witness: The Human Rights Case against Fracking and Climate Change. She blogs at riverwalking.com and lives in Corvallis, Oregon.
Introducing Kathleen is Bob Sandford, Global Water Futures Chair in Water and Climate Security at the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. Bob, a prolific author, was the co-author of the UN Water in the World We Want report on post-2015 global sustainable development goals relating to water. He is also lead author of Canada in the Global World, a new United Nations expert report examining the capacity of Canada’s water sector to meet and help others meet the United Nations 2030 Transforming Our World water-related Sustainable Development Goals.
