As the world transitions to a lower carbon economy, new industries, markets, and paths to economic prosperity are emerging. Join Prof. Ricardo Hausmann for a seminar on how the current energy transition is reshaping economic opportunity around the world—opening new doors for some and posing threats to others.
Whether attending in person or online, please register in advance. In-person attendance is limited to the Harvard community. The Zoom is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
This seminar is part of Worldwide Week at Harvard - an opportunity for Harvard Schools, research centers, departments, and student organizations to host academic and cultural events with global or international themes.
Meets biweekly from 3-5 PM at the Center for the Study of World Religions.
Recent scientific research has shed light on the sophisticated ways in which plants and fungi sense, make sense of, and interact with the world. Alongside these discoveries is a wave of interest in the “more-than-human” humanities, this scholarship raises fundamental questions about the nature of the human and the non-human: what is mind, where does it extend, and how? How do plants and fungi trouble our understanding of “thinking" – and perhaps cause us to reconsider what it means to be human? How do we ethically work with them? What cultural frameworks give us opportunities to think about next means of engagement? In its third year of gathering, this reading group will explore these questions and more. Past scholarship has included works by leading thinkers such as Emanuele Coccia, Monica Gagliano, Suzanne Simard, Michael Marder, and more.

The Arboretum becomes a riot of color in October, with leaves turning deep red, fiery orange, and bright yellow. Have you ever wondered why this happens every autumn? Outdoor Educator Ana Maria Caballero will take us through the science of fall leaf color, including an exploration of pigments and abscission, a hands-on experiment to reveal the array of pigments present in every leaf, and a walk in the landscape to take a closer look at leaves in all phases of color change.
