Alternatives Journal presents
WILL ECOLOGY DOMINATE THE 21st CENTURY?

Be part of the discussion.

On Tuesday, January 12, three of Canada's foremost "ecollectuals" will burn up the podium with a fast-paced discussion that will challenge your eco-ideas and test your eco-vocabulary.

Thomas Homer-Dixon (UW), Robert Gibson (UW) and Stephen Bocking (Trent U) will face off in an epic environmental debate.

"Ecology will be the master science of the 21st century," is Homer-Dixon's unequivocal opinion.

To which Bocking cautions, "Ša science too closely integrated with power courts its own corruption."

Join us to discover how Gibson, the third of our environmental titans, will weigh in on the debate over what role ecology should play as we enter the second decade of what will surely be a challenging ecological period in the world's future.

Climate change may be heating up the planet, but it's Homer-Dixon, Bocking and Gibson who will raise the thermostat on January 12th.

Thomas Homer-Dixon is the author of The Upside of Down and The Ingenuity Gap. He holds a CIGI Chair at the Balsillie School of International Affairs, and is a professor in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo. Known internationally for his unique ideas, Homer-Dixon grasps the interaction between ecology, the economy and technology.

Stephen Bocking is a professor and chair of the Environmental & Resource Studies Program at Trent University. An environmental historian, Bocking combines his depth of knowledge, original insights and clear prose in his regular contributions to Alternatives Journal.

Robert Gibson is the chair of Alternatives Journal's editorial board and a professor in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo. With wit, a very sharp pen and his penchant for upsetting established ideas, Gibson pushes the environmental agenda.
