What’s Science Got to Do With It? Professor Ronald Herring of Cornell’s Goverment Department will discuss sustainable agriculture and the environment in SE Asia at next ENVS seminar

10/30/14

Ronald Herring is Professor of Government at Cornell and a Fellow of the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. He has worked mostly in and on rural South Asia, addressing topics that include property, development and agrarian politics…which led naturally to the study of the volatile politics of genetically engineered crops. From an international conference at Cornell, Herring edited a special issue of Journal of Development Studies on connections between transgenic crops and poverty. His current work in editing the Oxford Handbook of Food, Politics and Society continues to follow his interests in food politics.

Please join us on Monday 3 November in CNS 112 at 3:45 pm to meet Dr. Herring and enjoy "sustainable snacks" provided by Sodexo, and then at 4:00 pm for his presentation!
