Let's Get Consensual: Trauma-Informed Communication Skills for Everyday Life with Professor Allie Rowland
What is consensual communication? What does it have to do with trauma? Often consent and trauma are discussed in terms of sexual intimacy and sexual assault. This lecture expands the relevance of consensual communication and trauma-informed communication, making the case that these skills are crucial for everyone, regardless of the context. (This talk includes concepts covered in Performance & Communication Arts courses.)
Why should we care about biodiversity? with Professor Erika Barthelmess
Biodiversity is "the sum total of life on earth." We are currently in the midst of what some call the 6th great extinction event in Earth's history and are losing species from the planet at about 1000 times faster than normal. All human beings rely on biodiversity for our existence. Here we discuss the delightful diversity that makes up our planet, the ways in which biodiversity supports our health and happiness, and strategies for protecting biodiversity for future generations. (This talk includes concepts covered in Biology 101, Mammalogy, Forest Ecology, and Conservation Biology.)
Bacon and Bottles: Small Choices with Big Impacts with Professor Dave Murphy
Climate change is impacting almost every facet of our life, from increasing storm frequency to droughts to floods to biodiversity loss and the list goes on. We all know that fossil fuels are the source of emissions that are causing the climate to change, but deep down we know we, as humans, are to blame. Population growth and consumer culture have combined to create a formidable Earth-destroying duo. But there is hope. Each of us has the power to change the world, one decision at a time, one day at a time. In this lecture, we explore the ways in which plastic production and meat consumption are destroying the planet and what you can do to change it. (This talk related to content available across the environmental offerings at St. Lawrence.)
