English speakers: From neuroscience to holism: critical thinking on the trajectory of the ecological crisis

Develop critical sense and reflexive view on scientific research at the era of the environmental crisis.

Understanding the causes of the environmental destruction leads to a transdisciplinary perspective, which in turns helps to envisage possible futures.

After a short reminder on some Anthropocene facts, we will discuss some links between cognitive neuroscience and the environmental crisis.
Next, we will approach the questions from other disciplines and illustrate how a systemic perspective permits to avoid a reductionism view.
We will pursue our critical thinking through a workshop where small groups of students will work on a topic before presenting their reflection to all participants.

1 session in 4 phases:
1) preliminary reading : you will have to select a paper from a list of documents and to read it before the event by connecting on AMeTICE (the dedicated link will be given in the ADUM registration mail).
2) slide show + questions
3) discussion workshop in groups of ~ 5
5) restitution and discussion between groups
