A Conversation on Religion and the Environment: Academia, Community, Activism

The planetary ecological crisis impacts every dimension of human life, not least the religious and spiritual. This event will feature flash-talks and panel discussion from six speakers whose academic research, environmental activism, and faith-based community building are informed in distinct ways by concern for life on our planet. Their backgrounds span the humanities and STEM, and blend community leadership inside and outside academia. This event seeks to speak across disciplines, and to build bridges between the university community and the broader public. All are welcome; food and drinks provided!
