- Oct 1612:00 PM[ENVS] Environmental Storytelling for a Changing PlanetBuilding: Curtis Hall City: Medford, MA 02155 Room: Curtis Hall - Multipurpose Room Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Wheelchair Accessible: Yes Open to Public: Yes Event Type: Lecture/Presentation/Seminar Event Subject: Global Engagement Event Sponsor: School of Arts and Sciences Event Sponsor Department / Area: Environmental Studies program RSVP Information: https://tufts.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Jj27sWB2QI6uwFK8lPwAcA Link: https://as.tufts.edu/environmentalstudies/news-events/hoch-cunningham-lecture-series#oct16 It’s clear that the climate crisis is dire, dramatic changes inevitable and already underway, and action inadequate despite decades of increasingly urgent warnings by climate scientists. Culture plays a critical role in shaping how we receive and respond to information, guiding action on the micro and macro scales. How can stories help us to navigate this changing planet? In this talk, Emily will explore the possibilities that interdisciplinary nonfiction storytelling can offer when just the facts fall short. How can braiding journalism, science, history, memory, and imagination create space for discovering or remembering other ways of being and acting in relationship to the earth? She will draw on her own writing on environmental contamination from nuclear weapons production and emerging work on responses to climate change, as well as examples from other boundary-crossing nonfiction writers.
- Oct 1612:00 PMThe Role of Secrecy in Negotiations to End the Russo–Ukrainian WarCampus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Fletcher Russia and Eurasia Program 114 Curtis Street Somerville, MA Open to Public: Yes Link: https://forms.gle/Pq4sYwYwxJjuGxBj8 Please join the Fletcher Russia and Eurasia Program at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University for a talk by Mikhail Troitskiy on the role of secrecy in negotiations to end the Russo–Ukrainian war. While confidentiality often enables progress in international negotiations, the speaker will argue that, under certain conditions, a powerful mediator can overcome obstruction by strategically disclosing selected information about the positions that are preventing agreement—thereby increasing pressure to compromise and advancing the prospects for peace. Refreshments will be served. The event is open to the public but is in-person only.
