Topics will be selected reflecting participants’ interests and may include: • Defining climate and climate change • Evidence for climate change • Modelling climate change: issues of confirmation and prediction • Climate change and decision theory • History of climate science as a research program • Climate science in the public debate Lecturers: Candis Callison (University of British Columbia) https://jwam.ubc.ca/profile/candis-callison/ Deborah Coen (Yale University) https://hshm.yale.edu/people/deborah-coen Eric Winsberg (University of South Florida) http://philosophy.usf.edu/faculty/ewinsberg/ The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior researchers in relevant fields, but the organizers also encourage applications from undergraduates and people in all stages of their career.
