Inside the Greenhouse
Max Boykoff and Beth Osnes of the CU Theatre Department will hold two "Inside the Greenhouse" events in Spring semester of 2012, held at Macky Auditorium, where high-profile public figures will speak to a live audience about their work on climate initiatives as well as reflect on their role in contemporary climate change. Also associated with these two events will be an upper-division undergraduate course, as well as a number of community outreach activities (e.g. elementary school visits). The project works towards the objective of helping a cross-disciplinary group of students to understand, appreciate, and develop narratives or multimodal compositions through performances, art, weblogs, films etc. This is designed to benefit those that seek to capture the complexity and dynamism of multi-scale and contemporary climate science, policy and politics. Much like "Inside the Actors Studio," they endeavor for these first two events to be a launching pad for a longer-term project called Inside the Greenhouse that will inspire greater community and nationwide engagement with these themes.
