What do our votes—and our food—tell us about the future?
On October 14, Emmy Award-winning journalist Paola Ramos joins UW political scientist Sophia Jordán Wallace for a lively conversation about Latino political power, shifting identities, and the voters reshaping American elections. Then, on October 26, plant geneticist Pamela Ronald asks a question that affects us all: What feeds us? Drawing on her discovery of flood-tolerant rice, Ronald explores how science can help crops withstand climate change and build a more resilient food system.
Join us at Town Hall Seattle for two urgent, thought-provoking events. Both lectures will be livestreamed, so you can be part of the conversation wherever you are.
We invite you to join us. All lectures are free and open to the public.
