Will Ecology Dominate the 21st Century? January 12, 2010

On Tuesday, January 12, three of Canada’s foremost “ecollectuals” will burn up the podium with a fast-paced discussion that will challenge your eco-ideas and test your eco-vocabulary. Thomas Homer-Dixon (UW), Robert Gibson (UW) and Stephen Bocking (Trent U) will face off in an epic environmental debate.

“Ecology will be the master science of the 21st century,” is Homer-Dixon’s unequivocal opinion.

To which Bocking cautions, “…a science too closely integrated with power courts its own corruption.”

Join us to discover how Gibson, the third of our environmental titans, will weigh in on the debate over what role ecology should play as we enter the second decade of what will surely be a challenging ecological period in the world’s future.

DOORS OPEN AT 7PM. DEBATE RUNS FROM 7:30 TO 9:00PM

Tickets: $10 each (contact [email protected] or 519-888-4545 to order your tickets)
