Physicist and Climate Researcher
I have been interested in rivers, in the idea of life — what is alive and what is dead — and how the boundary between life and death is policed and patrolled. I have been particularly fascinated by one manifestation of these struggles, which is the idea of the rights of nature.
Professor of Literature and the Environmental Humanities, Writer
While societies have adapted to climate change throughout history through agriculture, technology, and irrigation, it is foolish to assume that having better understanding of the science of climate change will automatically lead to an effective and smooth adaptation to the climate changes we are going to see. There is an imperative to prepare and act both individually and collectively.

Professor of Cultural History
Gender specialization within the household is not an inevitable result of economic incentives or biological imperatives. By looking at human history and anthropology, we find that our current models of parenting are unique historical developments. Understanding that our beliefs and social norms are malleable allows us to use public policy to imagine and build a more equal world.
