CCA Lectures on Peak Oil and More
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008
I’d like to invite any Montréalers out there to join me in attending some interesting-sounding talks at the Canadian Centre for Architecture. All are in the Paul Desmarais Theatre, begin at 7:00pm, and are free.
Here’s what the schedule looks like:
7 February - Designing the Post-Oil World by Bryant Urstadt, author of Imagine There’s No Oil — Scenes from a Liberal Apocalypse, a cover story in Harper’s Magazine, August 2006.
21 February - Les verts québecois - par Jean-Guy Vaillancourt, Full Professor, Department of Sociology, Université de Montréal, in French
6 March - Green Worker Co-operatives - by Omar Freilla, Founder of Green Worker Co-operatives
27 March - Film: Up the Yangtze - by Yung Chang, Canada, 2007, 93 min. (Chinese, French subtitles)
This is the first in what I hope will be a number of posts aimed specifically at people living in my home city of Montréal. While this blog aims to tackle some big and general ideas, there is a very special place in my heart for local events, businesses, and culture.
