DESCRIPTION:CAS Full Professor Lecture Series\n\n"Taking on the Heat in the
  ‘Burbs of Paris" ft. Meaghan Emery in the School of World Languages and
  Cultures\n\nWednesday\, March 18\, 2026 @ 4:30pm in Waterman Memorial Lou
 nge\n\nThanks to a Fulbright US Scholar award (2024-2025)\, I began an env
 ironmental research project on the active transition to resilient communit
 ies\, including in the northeastern suburbs of Paris\, France. In this urb
 an center\, characterized by dense\, concrete housing\, temperatures can s
 oar over 10 degrees Celsius (50˚F) higher than in the rural countryside d
 ue to the absorption and radiation of heat from the built surfaces. By stu
 dying how the philosophy of freedom is being reconciled with the needed ch
 ange in habits and urban design\, I am seeking ways to bridge my research 
 (and the Humanities more broadly) with the environmental sciences through 
 eco-philosophy.\n\nMeaghan Emery joined the French program\, now in the Sc
 hool of World Languages and Cultures\, in 2002\, after earning her PhD at 
 the Ohio State University in 2001. At UVM\, she has developed courses with
  a particular focus on the Second World War and intellectual resistance an
 d collaboration\, the period of decolonization\, and contemporary migratio
 n. Her research into the philosophy of Albert Camus and the paradigm of re
 sistance vs. revolution has opened her up to its potential to bring about 
 social change\, including today in the face of ecological collapse\, undou
 btedly the greatest crisis we will have undergone as a species.
