SEJ students and professors attend “Extreme Whether”

Environmentalism and theater– a winning combination!  A group of students in the SEJ undergraduate minor program, taking Prof. Alexander Schlutz’s Environmental Justice (SUS 300) and Prof. Milena Popov’s Introduction to Sustainability (SUS 299) courses, were among the theater audience at the opening night of “Extreme Whether” a play about a family whose members are on opposing sides of the climate debate.  The play was written by John Jay faculty member Karen Malpede and is currently being performed in Manhattan at the Theater for the New City.  In conjunction with the play, Prof. Gerald Markowitz led a discussion about the relationship between science and industry in managing the environment.
