Event Title

Why We Love Where We Live: Climate Change & Sense of Place

Host Organization

UF Bob Graham Center for Public Service and The Marjorie

Description

We all have relationships with the places we call home. As sea levels rise, temperatures increase, and the ranges of native plants and animals shift, Florida’s environment is changing and our relationships with those places must change, too.

As part of the Graham Center’s doctoral dissertation fellows program, we are pleased to present, Why We Love Where We Live: Climate Change and Sense of Place.

This luncheon panel, co-hosted by the Bob Graham Center for Public Service and The Marjorie,  will connect research on the sense of place theory with stories from individuals who are working to reimagine how Floridians can come to terms with the constantly changing futures of the places they love.
