Issues surrounding water will be explored by a panel of Linfield College faculty representing a wide range of disciplines Monday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. in Ice Auditorium, located in Melrose Hall at Linfield.
The talk will be live streamed: http://portal.stretchinternet.com/linfieldadmin/
The panel discussion is part of this year’s campus-wide theme for the Program for Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement (PLACE), “Air, Water, Earth and Fire: The Ancient Elements on a Changing Planet.”
The panel discussion will explore various issues regarding water. Whose is it? What is our responsibility? How do we place a value on it? Such questions will be discussed from the viewpoints of human health, ecology, economics, social justice, and a historical perspective.
Short presentations by the panelists will be followed by an informal discussion. Linfield faculty panelists include Jeremy Weisz (biology), Sarah Coste (HHPA), Anna Keesey (English), Rob Gardner (sociology) and Eric Schuck (economics).
The event is sponsored by the Program for Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement. For more information, contact Coste at 503-883-2481, scoste@linfield.edu.
