His public talk, Rethinking Humanity: Reasons for Optimism Amidst the Disruptions is at 4 PM in the Zion Room (Holland Centennial Commons 537). The talk is open to the public. 

Dorr is an environmental social scientist and technology theorist whose recent RethinkX publications have focused on the disruption of the global energy sector by new energy generation and storage technologies, as well as the implications of the energy, transportation, and food disruptions for climate change.

He completed his MS at the University of Michigan's School for the Environment and Sustainability and his PhD at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs.
