The Los Angeles Institute of the Humanities at USC Welcomes Allison Agsten

Allison Agsten, inaugural Director of USC Annenberg’s Center for Climate Journalism and Communication will discuss the connection between climate change and the Los Angeles County wildfires and how that has been communicated based on research and personal experience.

In her role at USC, she develops strategic priorities and conceptualizes initiatives to bolster public understanding of climate change. She is also executive producer of the energy transition podcast series, Electric Futures, and the author of a range of reports addressing climate change and the media, corporate sustainability practices, and policy-related issues.

In addition to her appointment at the Annenberg School, Agsten serves as the USC Wrigley Institute for Environment and Sustainability’s first curator. In that position, she facilitates expression at the intersection of art and climate with artists at all stages of their careers.

The Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities is a cross-disciplinary, intellectual center sponsored by USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences.
