Robert Jensen, emeritus professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas, will speak on “Pornography and Climate Change: Challenging Domination from the Intimate to the Global.” He will explain why two subjects of his research and writing that seem quite different on the surface—men’s sexual exploitation of women and humans’ exploitation of the planet—emerge from a common problem of hierarchy that can be traced to the origins of agriculture. Jensen is the author of The End of Patriarchy: Radical Feminism for Men and Plain Radical: Living, Loving, and Learning to Leave the Planet Gracefully.

The event is sponsored by the Austin School. For more information, contact Roy Casagranda, roy.casagranda@austincc.edu.
