[pccgrads] Heads up--Wi Climate Communication Seminar (OCN/ESS/ATMOS 593)--speakers and topics

[Miriam Bertram via pccgrads]

Hello PCC grads,

I've had several conversations and am working with lots of suggestions as
to the topics and speakers for the Climate Communication Seminar
<https://pcc.uw.edu/education/quarterly-climate-courses/pcc-climate-communication-seminar/>
this winter quarter. <https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/OCEAN593>  We
are focusing on topics that can help everyone give a great talk to a
general audience.

I'd like to know what you think.

Topics on my list so far (some speakers are confirmed, others are on my
wish list):


   1. How to explain radiation balance, greenhouse effect and models and
   projects.  All with a hopeful outlook. (Tom Ackerman and Kyle Armour)
   2. Summarizing the SPM for a general audience, haiku as an example (Greg
   Johnson)
   3. Goal setting, project design and evaluation (UW Office of Educational
   Assessment, Angela Davis-Unger)
   4. Risk Communication: Tania Busch Isaksen and Meredith Li-Vollmer
   5. Misinformation and Reaching Across Differences
   6. Emotional responses to climate change (hope, joy, grief, anxiety).
   7. Climate change as an affordability issue (insurance, energy).

Thank you for any thoughts.
-Miriam
