Science on the Edge Lecture
Environmental Redemption: A Discussion on Moving Forward with the Voice of Artists
Explore the new musical drama work by composer Glenn McClure entitled “The Redemption Center: Sometimes You Get More than 5 Cents.” Building on his career as an arts-based science communicator, Glenn will examine current environmental narratives that have led to climate anxiety and other forms of civic paralysis on these sociopolitical issues. This upbeat musical romp through climate challenges reimagines the place where you get 5 cents for a returnable can into a stage of environmental discussion and inspiration.
In addition to the show, look forward to an open discussion on overcoming cultural barriers and anti-science rhetoric in order to meet the increasingly urgent issues of our time.
