Reading group: Ethics for the Coming Storm

For session five, we are aligning with the latest episode from CIP's Religion and Global Challenges podcast—an interview with Professor Laurie Zoloth (out 18 June).

Laurie Zoloth is an ethicist and the podcast episode discusses her 2023 book, Ethics for the Coming Storm: Climate Change and Jewish Thought (published by Oxford University Press)​. 

To focus discussion, please read the closing chapter, "You must interrupt your life". This revisits a presidential speech Zoloth delivered to members of the American Academy of Religion in 2014.

Accessing the reading

The whole book is available on iDiscover for those at the University of Cambridge.

Hardback, paperback and eBook editions are available to purchase from the publisher and other outlets.

The original AAR speech is also available to read (free) in the society's journal: 2014 AAR Presidential Address: Interrupting Your Life: An Ethics for the Coming Storm (via academic.oup.com/jaar/).​

Joining the discussion

We will meet online. All are welcome.

If this is your first session, please contact Dr Anastasia Badder for Zoom details (via Divinity.cam.ac.uk).
