Breakfast Forum with Thomas Homer-Dixon


Wednesday, May 31, 2006
7:30 AM - 9:00 AM
215 Spadina Avenue, Suite 128
$10 at the door

Thomas Homer-Dixon is Director of the Center for the Study of Peace and Conflict at the University of Toronto, and Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science. His books include: The Ingenuity Gap, Environment, Scarcity, and Violence and, coedited with Jessica Blitt, Ecoviolence: Links among Environment, Population, and Security.

In this presentation, Dr. Homer-Dixon will discuss the rising likelihood of the breakdown of the economic, political, technological, and ecological systems that sustain humankind. If this breakdown occurs, what should we do to limit its severity, and how can we benefit from it? If we are going to adapt successfully to an increasingly complex and fast-paced world, he argues, certain kinds of breakdown are natural and even necessary.
