Regrowing a Living Culture: The Work That Is Called for Now — EcoGather
In At Work in the Ruins: Finding Our Place in the Time of Climate Crises and Other Emergencies , Dougald Hine wrote about finding “the small paths” into the unknown world that lies ahead. In this session, as he prepares for a US tour to accompany the paperback release of this book brought forth b
janThe questions that I work with…are: … “How do we make sense of this?” “How did we find ourselves here?” … “What is worth doing?”… “How do we…locate ourselves in relation to those questions?” … I'm interested in…creating spaces where we can explore all of that—without either there being a kind of rush to answers and to action, or there being a sort of black certainty about it all being over and there being nothing worth trying—…the space in which…the things that might be worth trying change us, rather than us operating from existing understandings of self and agency,…framing problems and identifying solutions and so… That's the space…where I'm at home.

What should academics do about climate change?
How should higher education respond to the unfolding climate crisis? This week the Future Trends Forum is delighted to host Dougald Hine, co-author of the Dark Mountain Manifesto, and most recently author of At Work in the Ruins: Finding Our Place in the Time of Science, Climate Change, Pandemics & All the Other Emergencies. https://dougald.nu/about/ https://dark-mountain.net/about/manifesto/ https://dougald.nu/at-work-in-the-ruins The Future Trends Forum is a weekly discussion event created and hosted by Bryan Alexander. Since 2016 we have addressed the most powerful forces of change in academia. Each week, this video chat brings together practitioners in the field to share their most recent work and experience in education and technology. The intent of the Forum: to advance the discussion around the pressing issues at the crossroads of education and technology. http://forum.futureofeducation.us/ https://bryanalexander.org/ This event is powered by Shindig, the video chat event provider. On Shindig, audiences all can see one another and engage in private video chats sharing and discussing the content of the presentation. Event hosts may also bring selected audience members to the stage to ask questions or otherwise interact with guest speakers. Shindig; the dynamics of in person events, online. https://shindig.com/

The world is not a problem - Iain McGilchrist and Dougald Hine
I find myself in the odd position that I'm a great believer in both science and reason, and I've spent most of my life trying to practice these these things, and it falls to somebody who believes in them passionately to point out their limitations... --Iain McGilchrist https://youtu.be/PSFdJ7fRDjM?t=531 #IainMcGilchrist #DougaldHine
