Widening the Circle: Indigenous Knowledge on the Personhood of All Beings and Justice for the Land
October 3, 2019 at 4:00pm – 5:30pm
Bird Library, 114
Kameshwar C. Wali Lecture in the Sciences and Humanities for 2019
Presented by Robin Wall Kimmerer (SUNY ESF)
As distinguished guest lecturer for this annual Physics / Humanities Center partnership, author-scholar Kimmerer critically examines the notion of serving “We the People” as the foundation of environmental protection. Who are those People? What does it mean to be a person? She explores the indigenous concepts of personhood and reciprocity as a means to expand the circle of citizenship to include justice for the land. All are welcome.
Co-sponsored by the departments of Art & Music Histories, Biology, Religion, and Women’s & Gender Studies.
