Discussions of climate change assume norms about how time flows, like a clock running out before a crisis is solved. Kyle Whyte, a professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation will discuss how Indigenous advocacy, science and narratives of time challenge these norms, reframing what it means to act responsibly amidst crisis.
This talk will be in-person at Town Hall Seattle and will also be live-streamed.
