The university has long been the place our society carves out for addressing issues of vital importance to all of society. Climate change is one of those issues. And yet in our increasingly specialized world, the solution to climate change is often perceived to come from science or government or some combination of the two. We think the humanities and social sciences have a role to play here too. The Working Group is a forum for exploring what that role might be.

Each year we organize a series of events including:

• Reading groups

• Documentary film series

• Invited Speakers

• Climate Actions (from pipeline protests to fossil-fuel divestment)

• Social get togethers
