Dr. Stoner is an associate professor of sociology and department head at Northern Michigan University. He is an environmental sociologist who studies the social drivers of societal responses to climate change. His most recent research examines the political-economic and ideological barriers to more effective and meaningful responses to the climate emergency.
During this discussion, he will identify the socio-structural causes of climate anxiety, explore the phenomenon of climate disavowal, and discuss policy implications for confronting our current ecological predicament.
On October 1, at 3:00 p.m., as part of Northern Michigan University's 125th Celebration, we will celebrate the collaborative creation of a new campus nursery dedicated to growing native plants for NMU's landscaping.
Participants are invited to tour the nursery and learn about native plant species and efforts to increase biodiversity on our campus. The nursery is located behind Central Receiving (2073 Sugarloaf Avenue).
What happens to your waste after you throw it in your garbage bin at home, and why does it matter? Ali O'Neal will be teaching us about how our daily habits surrounding waste disposal have a huge impact on climate change and our local environment. Attendees are invited to join this interactive presentation to learn about the environmental and social impacts of both composting and recycling and will walk away with tangible steps to lessen their personal environmental footprint.
