Environmental Humanities Symposium: Building the Environmental Humanities at UO

A symposium hosted by the College of Arts and Science on Environmental Humanities.  We’ve invited two speakers—Gregg Mitman, Founding Director of the Center for Culture, History, and the Environment at the University of Wisconsin, and Bethany Wiggin, Director of the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania—to speak about their environmental humanities initiatives and talk with us about the past, present, and future of the environmental humanities.

Afternoon Panel 2: Building the Environmental Humanities at UO

Any successful UO center, program, or initiative requires crucial investments in infrastructure and management.  This session discusses a variety of key program issues and questions, including organizational structure and administration, funding and donor relations, the selection of special projects and programs in the environmental humanities, the involvement of colleagues outside the humanities, and the involvement of students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
