Part of a yearlong movement, "Cultural Transformation for Planetary Health: Dialogues on Climate-Health Connections"

Date: Tuesday September 26

Time: 5:30-7:30pm

Location: MIT Hayden Library Nexus Room, 14S-130

How are our current environmental crises connected with human health and well-being, and what deeper societal norms and values are driving the injustices we see in these areas today? This series of dialogue events—sponsored by the Radius Forum on Technology and Ethics, Morningside Academy for Design (MAD), PKG Public Service Center, and other partners—will hold space for MIT students, staff, and faculty to engage in reflective conversations about the cultural and emotional aspects of global environmental change in a roundtable-style setting.

Our kickoff event, “Water is Life”—Water Rights, Environmental Change, & Human Health, is a discussion over dinner with researchers and advocates of water rights about the need for a cultural transformation toward how we as a society view water in our sociopolitical systems as well as our everyday lives. We will use creative methodologies and design principles to further spark reflection and action. To encourage community building, there will be time for participants to mingle in smaller groups.
