„Communicating Climate Change” – Prof. Michael J. Reiss, University College London’s Faculty of Education and Society, United Kingdom
For some people, climate change is an existential threat; for others, it is an exaggerated issue or even a hoax. How should we deal with this wide diversity of views? Should schools teach climate change as a controversial issue? Should we allow or ban climate change deniers from posting on social media? And how are the controversies surrounding climate change related to those around vaccination and creationism? This lecture will address these questions.
Michael J. Reiss is a Professor of Science Education at UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, a member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, and Chair of UCL’s Climate Change and Sustainability Education Centre. A former Director of Education at the Royal Society, he is also President of the International Society for Science and Religion and of the Association for Science Education. His research interests include science education, bioethics, sex education, and the relationship between science and religion.
