ENVS Colloquium Series Spring 2011The theme for the ENVS Spring 2011 Colloquium Series is 'adaptation and the environment'. In the interdisciplinary spirit of environmental studies, one main speaker gives a more extensive talk. Then, two commentators from varied and complementary disciplines offer insight on some other dimension of the issue at hand. The aim has been to have representation from faculty and grad students on the panels. All sessions are scheduled for the CIRES auditorium from 4-6pm (with refreshments preceding the talks, 4-430pm). Click here for directions. Contact ami@cires.colorado.edu if you wish to be added to our mailing list to receive notices of future talks. For an updated schedule see the ENVS Colloquium webpage. The series is being co-sponsored by the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Colorado and the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research. |
