3rd Greenbag Lunch Series: Occupy Earth

• When: Wednesday, January 25th at 12pm
• Where: Stern Ballroom

This third Green Bag Lunch Series, Occupy Earth: Lessons from the Occupy Movement for Individual Environmentalism, will look at the issues surrounding individualism and individual action in environmentalism and the sustainability movement.

Do individual actions make a …difference?  Is a collectivist mindset necessary for structural, global change?  How do we make a substantive impact?  These and other questions that affect all social movements are being tested on the ground right now by the various Occupy groups around the world.  What can we learn from their experiences and how can we apply them to other social movements, like environmentalism and sustainability?

On the panel will be:

• Dr. George Hopkins, Emeritus Professor of History
• Dr. Timothy Callahan, Director of the Masters in Environmental Studies Program
• Dr. P. Brian Fisher, Director of the Office of Sustainability
• Nick Rubin, Occupy Charleston Representative

This informal panel will give a brief presentation to be followed by a discussion and Q&A period. All faculty, staff, students and Charleston community members are welcome!  Invite your friends! Drinks and snacks will be provided, but bringing a bagged lunch is strongly encouraged.
