The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education OER Advisory Council & Framingham State University

Larry McKenna, Associate Professor and Chair Dept. of the Environment, Society and Sustainability at Framingham State University, will speak briefly about his experience writing his new, openly-licensed, ROTEL grant-funded climate change textbook ‘Conversations with the Earth’, then lead an interactive Q and A session for the remainder of this 45-minute session. Professor McKenna says “...there’s positive news here. We still have the power to stop the worst consequences of climate change. We have agency. And we can do it-we must do it-in our lifetimes. ROTEL will allow Conversations with the Earth to bring the science, the policy and the ethics of climate change to a wide audience.”
