SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Paddy Woodworth -'Writing Restoration: A Global Journey to the Cutting Edge of Conservation Science & Practice'
DESCRIPTION:Public talk on writing about the environment at NUI Galway \nAuthor and lecturer Paddy Woodworth is to give a guest talk titled ‰Û÷Writing Restoration: A Global Journey to the Cutting Edge of Conservation Science & Practice’ at NUI Galway on 26 February at 7pm. \nThe talk\, part of the “Doing Writing” series organized by the BA and MA programmes in Creative Writing at NUI Galway\, will be based on Woodworth’s most recent book\, Our Once and Future Planet: Restoring the World in the Climate Change Century\, published by Chicago University Press. \nTen years in the making\, Our Once and Future Planet focuses on projects across the world that attempt to reverse damage to the environment and restore healthy and biodiverse ecosystems. The book has received international acclaim for its extensive research and key arguments\, and also for the accessibility of its style. Science magazine emphasized that Woodworth “skillfully dissects the arguments surrounding the purpose and direction of ecological restoration”\, while also especially commending his “effective use of narrative techniques to enhance his presentation. His descriptions of the people he meets are often charming and revealing”. \nFormerly a Visiting Fellow on the International Writing Programme at the University of Iowa\, and most recently a visiting lecturer at the University of Chicago\, Woodworth has published widely on the arts\, travel\, Basque and Spanish affairs\, and national and international environment issues. He regularly writes on these and related areas for the Irish Times. \nWoodworth also works as an editor for scientists who wish to reach a wide public readership\, and he is a mentor for creative writers at NUI Galway working on projects related to factual narration and other forms of creative non-fiction. \nThis public talk will take place on 26 February at NUI Galway in the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies (ground floor\, room G010) at 7pm. Booking is not required\, but seating may be limited.  \nFor more information please contact john.kenny@nuigalway.ie
