Film & Discussion: Merchants of Doubt
November 5, 2015 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
The Production of Public Understanding of Science project is pleased to announce that Harvard historian Naomi Oreskes, magician and public intellectual Jamy Ian Swiss, and Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann will be at Bucknell on November 5–6, 2015, for a series of events beginning with a screening and panel discussion of Robert Kenner’s recent film, Merchants of Doubt, based on the eponymous book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway about the efforts of industry-funded denialists to spread confusion about the science of global warming. (There’s a good chance that Kenner will be here, too!)
The screening and panel conversation will take place at the Campus Theater on Thursday, Nov. 5, from 6:30–9:30pm. For a trailer, see here.
Additional events, including presentations by Oreskes and Swiss, will follow on Friday, November 6th, details TBD. For background on Naomi Oreskes, see here (also see her TED talk, “Why We Should Trust Scientists”). For information about Jamy Ian Swiss, see here. And on Michael Mann, see here!
