From Scott.Carlin at liu.edu Sun Sep 10 15:44:44 2017 From: Scott.Carlin at liu.edu (Scott Carlin) Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2017 19:44:44 +0000 Subject: [Post-sustainability-committee] Off-Campus Book Signing Event on Thursday Message-ID: Corey Dolgon Thursday, September 14th at 7pm http://bookrevue.com/corey-dolgon-thursday-sept-14th-at-7pm/ Book Review 13 NEW YORK AVE HUNTINGTON, NY 11743 phone: 631.271.1442 Former Long Island University professor will speak in Huntington this Thursday. A Long Island native, sociologist and author Corey Dolgon, will be speaking about and signing copies of his new book, Kill It to Save It. [cid:image001.png at 01D32A4B.BC57F0B0] For decades now, American voters have been convinced to support public policies that only benefit those in power. But how do the powerful extract consent from citizens whose own self-interest and collective well-being are constantly denied? And why do so many Americans seem to have given up on quality public education, on safe food and safe streets, on living wages?even on democracy itself? Kill It to Save It lays bare the hypocrisy of contemporary US political discourse, documenting the historical and theoretical trajectory of capitalism?s triumph over democracy. Tackling the interconnected issues of globalization, neoliberalism, and declining public institutions, Corey Dolgon argues that American citizens now accept reform policies that destroy the public sector (seemingly in the public interest) and a political culture that embraces what Stephen Colbert calls ?truthiness??a willingness to agree to arguments that feel right ?in the gut? regardless of fancy science or messy facts. In a narrative that stretches from the post? Vietnam War era to the present parade of political reality TV and debates over Black Lives Matter, Dolgon dismantles US common-sense cultural discourse. His original, alternative account reveals that this ongoing crisis in US policy will not cease until a critical mass of American citizens recognize what has been lost, and in whose interest. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This program will support a business, marketing, environmental, engineering and the curation of whole systems clean energy retrofit activity for a commercial property/s. The students must be committed to working and be directly dedicated on the alignment of applicable real world contributions -as it relates to their future and the current progressive outreach goals of the New York State mandate of reaching 80% sustainability by 2050. All of these elements will be critical learning components to any academic sustainability intern.
