Perspectives on Sustainability: An Interdisciplinary Discussion
This year’s Sustainability Symposium theme, Perspectives on Sustainability, invites us to consider the ubiquitous and contested term “sustainability” and how it is differently understood. Join us as we hear an interdisciplinary panel of faculty share perspectives on “sustainability” – that slippery and contentious term – from their research, life, or disciplinary perspective. As we learn from these diverse perspectives, we invite you to consider what this term means to you and how we can focus on common objectives for equitable, thriving human and natural communities, regardless of what we call it.
1:00 p.m. – 2:20 p.m.
