Sustainability Café on March 17 will look at climate change through the eyes of a humanistContributed by Marian Brown on 03/17/14
Nancy Menning is an assistant professor in the department of Philosophy and Religion. Dr. Menning combines her academic background in social forestry and environmental studies with her work in religious studies to advance the environmental humanities and in particular her field of specialization, called either 'religion and ecology' or 'religion and nature.' Her recent work has emphasized religious aspects of climate change narratives, spiritual practices for cultivating environmental virtues, and rituals for mourning environmental losses. “Teachable edibles” – local, organic and/or seasonal snacks – for the Spring 2014 Sustainability Café series are being sponsored by Ithaca College Dining Services whose motto is “Sustainability – Healthy – Fresh.” Please bring your reusable mug and fill up at the nearest drinking fountain or provide your own beverage of choice. This event is free and open to the public. Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Marian Brown at 607-274-3787 or mbrown@ithaca.edu. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible. Drink in a new way to think in the Sustainability Café. |
