Integrating Science and Social Change, Part 1

2 Thursdays, September 24 and October 1

11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Zoom Virtual Classroom

Tuition: $29

We tend to expect science to give us nice neat answers, while we see social issues as messy. But in key issues facing our world today, it is not possible to separate the two. This course will have two sets of two sessions, and you can sign up for either or both. This first set will discuss environmental justice and public health. This course is co-sponsored by Peace Church, an OLLI at CU Community Partner.
