Environmental Crises: History, Economics, and Politics: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on April 4th

All too often academics’ analyses of environmental issues are confined to the narrow bounds of individual disciplines.  In an effort to address this challenge, the symposium will bring together scholars from a range of fields in an effort to explore issues of environmental justice at the intersections of urban and rural concerns, and to discuss their scholarship with a diverse audience.  Symposium speakers and their topics include:

• Joyce Barry, Hamilton College (Women’s Studies Department), “Gender and Climate Change: Lessons from the Movement to End Mountaintop Removal”
• Harold Perkins
