Climate Commons invites you to join Critical Conversations, a dynamic, one and a half-hour dialogue around cutting-edge climate scholarship. Each session brings together researchers, students, and community members for a respectful yet rigorous discussion that moves beyond summaries and soundbites. Our aim is to create a space where participants leave with fresh perspectives and renewed energy for research and action.

Join us on March 12, 2026 @12PM EST, with Bailey Wagner to discuss their new research, “Vulnerability Beyond Indicators: Implications for Engineering Pedagogy and Practice in Climate Adaptation.” This paper is part of a larger thesis project and offers new methods for adaptation research, dissects the concepts of vulnerability in a climate change context, and introduces contemporary ideas to engineering practice and pedagogy.
