*‘TUESDAY SALON’ SERIES AT ITHACA COLLEGE’S HANDWERKER GALLERY * *WILL
FOCUS ON GLOBAL WARMING*
The “Tuesday Salon” series at Ithaca College’s Handwerker Gallery will
continue on Oct. 2 with a discussion led by Michael Smith, assistant
professor of history. Entitled “How Inconvenient? Coming to Terms with
Global Warming,” the event will begin at 4 p.m. in the Handwerker
Gallery. The presentation is free and open to the public. Light
refreshments will be provided.
“With films like ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and ‘The Eleventh Hour’
bringing the issue of global warming to the silver screen, what
scientists have been talking (and worrying) about for more than a decade
is now part of the cultural mainstream,” Smith said. “Yet have we as a
society responded to this inconvenient truth? The Arctic sea ice has
shrunk to its lowest extent since data began to be recorded. What does
this mean for us? What kind of conversations should we be having about
global warming?”
The Tuesday Salon is a Handwerker Gallery program aimed at providing
students, faculty, staff and members of the community a forum outside of
a classroom setting for intellectual discussion and debate. Topics are
selected by a guest discussant, who provides a 10-minute introduction
and moderate the ensuing conversation. Tuesday Salon events will
continue through the fall semester.

co-director and assistant professor of sociology, at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
