Science Bar “Human-nature connections, a history of cultures”

Saturday, June 3, 2017, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Montpellier Botanical Garden (near the Martin greenhouse)

Nature has always been omnipresent throughout all stages of human evolution. Throughout history, we can see that the relationship between humans and their environment has greatly evolved, driven by scientific discoveries and economic revolutions, but also by our perceptions and beliefs.
The "sense of nature" is a truly human axis that synthesizes the perception and sensitive human relationship (physical or mental) that humans, individually or in society, establish with nature.
Daniel Vallauri (Doctor of Ecology)
This exceptional science bar is part of the national event "Rendez-vous aux Jardins" organized by the Department of Culture and Communication (June 2–4, 2017).
This fifteenth edition is themed "Sharing in the Garden": sharing spaces for gardening, seeds, or plants, but also sharing knowledge, moments of pleasure, and discovery.
This unprecedented science-society debate will take place in the heart of the Jardin des Plantes, near the Martins greenhouse. It will be moderated by three researchers from Montpellier:

• Guillaume Bagnolini
  PhD student in philosophy of science;
  Founder of Cosciences;
  Deputy Director of the Center for Contemporary Ethics.
• Stéphanie Carrière
  Researcher in ecology – ethnoecology at GRED (Governance, Risks, Environment, Development) – IRD-Paul Valéry University Montpellier.
• Olivier Tinland
  Lecturer in Contemporary Philosophy at Paul-Valéry-Montpellier University (Department of Philosophy);
  Deputy Director of the CRISES research team (Center for Interdisciplinary Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences).
