On History, Storytelling, & Climate Change

Join us for a lecture by Professor Martin Puchner, who will share his insights on the means through which policymakers can effectively integrate historical perspectives into modern decision-making processes regarding climate change. He will also discuss how, in a similar vein, storytelling contributes to raising awareness and influencing larger policy discussions on climate action.

The lecture occurs as part of the second volume of Fiker Institute’s Public Lecture Series, “Ideology, Identity, & Foreign Policy.” It will be open to the public, with registration at the entrance.
