Our intent is to locate this year’s summer school in this global ecological context, while grounding it in local public health action and linking it to the emerging debate about the need for transformative societal change and a just transition to a sustainable ‘One Planet’ society. Students will be introduced to each half day session topic via a main plenary presentation and then will split into small groups via breakout rooms to engage with the speaker and other students on a subtopic related to the main session.
The draft agenda is now available!
Please note that all times are in Pacific Standard Time.
