Ceres event with Nicole Foss, Melbourne Sunday February 18

Nicole Foss, the systems analyst and biologist behind the blog Automatic Earth, is speaking tomorrow at A Compass for Turbulent Times, organised by Ceres.

I’m on the bill too, which I’m told will proceed roughly as follows:

9-11 Nicole (inc Qs)
11-30 Morning tea
11.30 – 12.30 Steve (inc Qs) – focus on aust context
12.30 – 1.30pm Lunch
1-30 – 2pm Opportunity for further Qs to both
2pm – 3.30 – Workshop session – smaller groups come up with
hypothetical scenarios/strategies (30mins) to put back to Nicole/Steve
for response / discussion (1hr).

Nicole is an excellent thinker and speaker; we’ve spoken twice together now at events organised by Local Futures in Michigan, and I have great respect for her combined economic-ecological perspective (in which ecology dominates!).

If you’d like to attend, bookings are still available from Ceres; tickets cost $150, or $110 for concessions and Ceres members. Ceres is a not-for-profit organisation, and the fees are covering the costs of bringing Nicole out to Australia.

The event is being held at CERES Community Environment Park Cnr Roberts and Stewart East Brunswick VIC 3057.
