Newspaper previews Tuesday UMaine talk
Saturday’s Bangor Daily News included a story previewing a Tuesday UMaine talk by climate change activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier. Currently spending a year as a teaching scholar at Bowdoin, Watt-Cloutier is a member of the Inuit tribe who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 2007. After a Tuesday 2 p.m. session with UMaine students, Watt-Cloutier will give a 7 p.m. Wells Conference Center talk, ““Everything is Connected: Environment, Economy, Foreign Policy, Sustainability, Human Rights and Leadership in the 21st Century.” She is noted for adding human rights issues to the discussion of climate change. The Tuesday UMaine sessions are presented by the university’s Canadian-American Center.
