50 Years of Wonder: A Conversation with Dr. Lanham
from the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History, Institute for Social Transformation, John R. Lewis College, and Rachel Carson College
This year will mark the 50th spring since Ken Norris started the first natural history field course at UC Santa Cruz. To commemorate this remarkable milestone, the Norris Center is planning a series of events this year: 50 Years of Wonder, Celebrating the First Half Century of Natural History at UCSC.
At this first event in the series, author and wildlife biologist Dr. J. Drew Lanham will speak about the convergence of the environmental and social justice movements, as featured in his recent essay “A Convergent Imagining.”
|
|
|
Dr. Lanham will discuss how these two movements can positively influence the other, how we might better teach natural history to include and inspire future naturalists from all backgrounds, and what he thinks the next 50 years of natural history/environmentalism will look like. After his talk, there will be a short question and answer session.

Register here for the discussion on Monday, January 31st from 5:30-7pm.
