Greg Garrad will host a panel discussion on international perspectives on climate change, to take place at the Kelowna ARt Gallery, 115 Water St., on Tuesday, June 7, 6 p.m.

Garrard, with the faculty of creative and critical studies sustainability at UBCO, is hosting a three-day workshop on this issue at the university, one component of which will be  the public forum.

Garrardº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s workshop involves a team of international humanities researchers who will examine climate skepticsand the questions surrounding the debate on climate change: Who are they? What view of science and nature do they hold? Are they all conservatives? Is there any meaningful difference between º¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù˜skepticismº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ and º¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù˜denialismº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™? How does climate skepticism vary between nations?

The forum is open to the public but there is a registration fee.  To find out more details, and to register for the workshop, contact greg.garrard@ubc.ca by Monday, June 30.
