“Climate Change: distinguishing critical from sceptical perspectives” by Calum T. M. Nicholson

Famously, the debate on climate change is divided between so-called 'believers' and 'sceptics'. In this lecture Dr Calum T.M. Nicholson will explore the fallacies of both these positions, and propose a third position which might prove more productive: a critical but not sceptical view of climate change.

Dr Calum T. M. Nicholson read Social Anthropology at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, was awarded an MPhil in Migration Studies from St Antony’s College, University of Oxford, and holds a PhD in Human Geography. He has conducted original research that reconsiders how we understand the societal implications of climate change, notably in the context of its relationship to human migration and international development.

A former Parliamentary researcher and development consultant, Dr Nicholson teaches courses at the University of Cambridge on international development, international migration, and the politics of climate change. At Cambridge, Dr Nicholson also teaches a well-received course on the political, cultural, and historical significance of social media, which he is currently turning into a book.
