Shored Up
October 29th, 2019
Shored Up is an award-winning documentary that asks tough questions about our coastal communities and our relationship to the land. What will a rising sea do to our homes, our businesses, and the survival of our communities? Can we afford to pile enough sand on our shores to keep the ocean at bay? Our development of the coastlines put us in a tough predicament, and it’s time to start looking for solutions.

American Climate Change Reporting at a Crossroads
March 28th, 2019, Co-Sponsored by the Bucks County Audubon Society
Reporters covering climate change face an extremely difficult task. The prolonged, complex, and extensive scope of the climate crisis requires strategies and frames for coverage. If climate journalism is to improve in both scope and rigor, reporters must specifically name and reveal the sources/perpetrators of climate change, identify the most severely impacted, and feature different knowledge, experiences, and solutions.
Hanna E. Morris, a doctoral student at the Annenberg Hanna School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, researches media, culture, and climate change. In this talk, she discusses how journalists in the United States are currently covering the climate crisis, the challenges these journalists face, and possible avenues for improvement. Morris holds a Master of Science in Media and Communications at the London School of Economics (LSE) and a Bachelor of Science in Society and Environment with a concentration in Global Environmental Politics at the University of California, Berkeley.
