Main St, Brattleboro, VT

Windham World Affairs Council (WWAC) will present Dr.Julie Snorek, Environmental Studies, Dartmouth College, who will speak on “Degrowth: How our blessings have become a curse.” Julie will explain the economics of degrowth while examining the flawed logic of continuous, constant growth as a solution to the problems of our era. She will talk about new patterns of development, a future of regeneration, sustainability, justice, and degrowth, and give us examples from other countries where people are taking actions to de-grow and build a new ecology of care. Julie Snorek has spent over fifteen years studying climate change, environmentally-induced migration, and patterns of development, working mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Julie received her Ph.D from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2016 and her M.S. from SIT Graduate Institute in 2010. The talk will be free and open to the public. 7:00 coffee, tea, and conversation. Talk begins at 7:30.
