Professor and well-known author Julia Schor will speak about climate change at the Brookline Senior Center. Schor is Professor of Sociology at Boston College and previously taught at Harvard University for 17 years. She has written or edited 13 books and published more than 75 articles and book chapters.
In her lecture, Schor argues that climate change can be solved not just
through technology, but through lifestyle changes. Lifestyle changes do not just lower carbon dioxide emissions, but they enhance quality of life, community and happiness. These arguments are made in her most recent book, Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth.
Schor has served as a consultant to the United Nations, at the World
Institute for Development Economics Research, and to the United Nations Development Program. She is currently working on issues of environmental sustainability and their relation to lifestyles and the economy.
