Local author and former City and Borough of Juneau Assembly member Kate Troll will discuss her new book, “The Great Unconformity: Reflections on Hope in an Imperiled World,” at tonight’s Evening at Egan lecture at the University of Alaska Southeast.
Evening at Egan lectures take place at 7 p.m. on Fridays at the Egan Library. Lectures are free, open to the public and include a question and answer session at the end.
All lectures are broadcast live via streaming video at http://uatv.alaska.edu/livestream.html.
Troll’s new book addresses living with climate change. Her lecture is titled “Ten Points of Hope for Addressing Sustainability &Climate Change.”
“We can’t afford to wallow in the issue of having a climate denier in the White House,” Troll has stated in the lecture’s advertising. “We must push on harder. We all need reasons to be hopeful. That’s why my messages are so important and so appreciated. I ground the issues of climate in the hard facts of this most pressing of challenges; then I deliver hope on the wings of humanity and creativity.”
