Ithaca College

On Wednesday, April 23, at 4:00 p.m. in Williams Hall 317, our final Sustainability Café in the spring 2008 series will conclude with a talk, "Restoration and Reciprocity: Finding Common Ground between Scientific and Traditional Ecological Knowledge," presented by Robin Wall Kimmerer, director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Under the direction of Kimmerer, a botanist and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment seeks to develop connections between traditional ecological knowledge and Western scientific approaches. Kimmerer has taught in the environmental and forest biology department at SUNY ESF since 1993.

This Sustainability Café is cosponsored by the Department of Anthropology. For more information on other EarthWeek 2008 events, please view the full schedule.

"Teachable edibles" -- seasonal, organic, and/or local foods -- for the spring 2008 Sustainability Café series are being supported by Ithaca College Dining Services. Please bring your reusable mug and fill up at the drinking fountain or provide your beverage of choice.

All Sustainability Café events are free and open to the public.
