Thursday, March 20, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Green Hall, room 110
Join us for a documentary screening, discussion, and light meal (RSVP by Wednesday, March 19, to reserve yours) to learn about one of the most effective environmental public officials in US history: Stewart Udall, Secretary of the Interior from 1961 - 69. Udall worked in a bi-partisan fashion to create more national park units than any Interior Secretary in history and led the fight for the most important environmental legislation we now take for granted. He was also a champion of social and racial justice, the arts, and international cooperation. This film captures the beauty of the American west and the legacy of Stewart Udall, a story told through interviews with many prominent Americans.
Associate Professor Dr. Dan Philippon, an expert on American environmental literature and its relationship to the ideas of nature, culture, and place, will join us for a discussion following the screening.
To reserve your meal, RSVP via this Google form by Wednesday, March 19.
