Let’s Talk ‘Common Sense’: Reclaiming Common Sense for a Livable Future

With a federal election approaching, “common sense” will be the go-to phrase in political debates. But is it really that simple? And how does it shape the way we tackle climate change?

Join us for a conversation with Astra Taylor, Barbara Leckie, Candis Callison, and Joel Westheimer as we unpack what actually “makes sense,” the values that shape our understanding of common sense, and how we can redefine it for a more just and sustainable future.

We’re also launching our new podcast Commons Sense: the Commons, Climate Change, and Public Conversation (co-created by Barbara Leckie and Joel Westheimer and produced by former CBC producer Mary Stinson). Commons Sense is a six-part series with accompanying curriculum bringing together humanities and social science research on common sense, communication, and the commons, featuring insights from experts in a range of fields.

Please note that this webinar will be conducted in English. For more information, please contact ghadah@reclimate.ca
