*Disruptive Environments: Academics, Activists, and Journalists in Conversation*
We are pleased to announce that registration opens on *February 20^th * for *Disruptive Environments. This* two day conference seeks to provide a forum for conversation among journalists, activists, and scholars from the sciences, humanities, and social sciences on interrelated environmental topics, including climate change, environmental justice & health, and ecological restoration & remediation. By encouraging such conversations, the conference seeks: (1) to use the resulting range of perspectives to develop better tools to conceptualize environmental issues; (2) to examine the interrelationships among environmental issues which are often managed and regarded as separate problems; (3) to allow individuals working on such seemingly disparate environmental issues as climate change, endocrine disruption, and environmental restoration to consider possible linkages among them; and (4) to inspire novel forms of action and collaboration among groups of actors who are often positioned in very different ways within public environmental debates. Conceived by graduate students and faculty in MIT's Doctoral Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society (HASTS), this conference aims to engage MIT faculty and students, colleagues from other Boston-based institutions and beyond, and members of the general public. Disruptive Environments brings together a range of prominent journalists, activists, and scholars, including: Andrew Revkin (New York Times), Kerry Emanuel (MIT), Naomi Oreskes (UC San Diego), Theo Colborn (author “Our Stolen Future”), Devra Davis (director, Center for Environmental Oncology) and Brian Donahue (Brandeis). Disruptive Environments will be held at the MIT Museum April 10-11. Full details about the conference schedule and panelists can be found at the conference website: http://scripts.mit.edu/~disrupt-enviro/conference/ <http://scripts.mit.edu/%7Edisrupt-enviro/conference/> There will be no charge for attending Disruptive Environments, but because space is limited, we ask that all who plan to attend please register.
