Because the world’s problems are not neatly divided into disciplinary constructs…

Come join a conversation among faculty, students, and community members who share a common interest in working for a more just, equitable, & sustainable local and global community.

1. Interdisciplinary Forum I:  Faculty/student dialogue  (free and open to the public)
Tuesday March 23rd 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm, Newcomer 19

Students from a variety of departments on campus will present their response to an excerpt from Vandana Shiva’s new book, Soil not Oil.  Each student will address these questions:  From my disciplinary view, what are the compelling ideas in Shiva’s thesis?  What critique might my discipline offer?  Where does my discipline connect with other disciplines?

2. Vandana Shiva Lecture:  “Soil Not Oil: Security in Times of Climate Change”
Saturday March 27th, 7:00 pm Church-Chapel  (see above announcement)

3. Interdisciplinary Forum II:  Conversation with the community (free and open to the public)

In response to the lecture by Shiva on March 27th, a variety of community members will offer presentations addressing how we can apply Shiva’s challenge to our local Goshen community. Come join the dialogue.
