Juliet Schor, professor of Sociology at Boston College, is our Humanist of the Year.

Living an ethical life is no longer a matter of individual action. Climate change has linked how we live in the US to impacts throughout the globe. In this talk, Professor Schor will discuss what the global ethics of climate change means for Americans, with particular attention to patterns of spending, working and activism. She will draw on her research, the links between greenhouse gas emissions and economic outcomes such as hours of work, economic growth and the extent of inequality. She will suggest ways forward that improve well-being and achieve radical emissions cuts.
