$15 Indoor Talk and Q&A, Registration is Required

Hosted by Good Work Institute

“Let [Hine’s] song of loss and longing, his call to fugitivity, dispossess you of your steady gait and poise. Perhaps then we, collectively infected, might together witness the incomprehensible.”

—Bayo Akomolafe, author of These Wilds Beyond Our Fences

GWI is excited to welcome writer and social thinker Dougald Hine to Kingston for a talk highlighting his book, At Work in the Ruins: Finding Our Place in the Time of Climate Crisis and Other Emergencies. Join us at the GWI Greenhouse, where we will gather to hear reflections on the consequences of our over-reliance on the single lens of science while inviting us to collectively explore paths beyond panic and polarization.

Registration for this event is $15 and includes a copy of the book, which will be available on the evening of the event. The talk will be followed by a Q&A.
