Join Holocaust Museum Houston for the fourth lecture of the Spring 2018 Public Lecture Series, “Intergenerational Trauma & Memory: History Carried Through Generations” by Dr. Alex Alvarez. Climate change is increasingly impacting communities and nations around the world and challenging our ability to cope and adapt to new environmental realities. It also poses significant risk for the onset of communal violence, war, and genocide. This talk examines some of the risk factors for violent conflict brought by climate-induced stress, especially around resources, population displacement, and borders.Â
Dr. Alex Alvarez, author of “Unstable Ground: Climate Change, Conflict, and Genocide,” earned his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of New Hampshire in 1991 and is a Professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Northern Arizona University. From 2001 until 2003 he was the founding Director of the Martin-Springer Institute for Teaching the Holocaust, Tolerance and Humanitarian Values. His main areas of study are in the areas of collective and interpersonal violence, including homicide and genocide.
This lecture is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, and advance registration is requested. To RSVP online, visit hmh.org.

The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to consider the challenges and opportunities that lie before Houston, a key city in the global response to changing weather patterns, emerging economies and changing consumer preferences and needs. The future of Houston as a serious competitor in the global marketplace lies in many of the choices that will be made in the next few years. Houses of worship will have a key role to play in resilience. Resilience requires knowledge and the will to find a different way, and spiritual conviction and strength are absolutely necessary to achieve this. In this presentation, Jim Blackburn will discuss the scope of current problems, some ideas to bring resilience to our community in the future, and the role of houses of worship could play in realizing this future.
