Register Now For Bucknell University 9th Annual Sustainability Symposium April 22-23

Bucknell University Center for Sustainability and the Environment will host its 9th Annual Sustainability Symposium April 22-23 as an in-person event at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Union County.

This year’s Symposium-- Is it really too late?: Hope, Agency, and Change-- provides  faculty, staff, students, and community stakeholders a forum to share research, teaching, creative  works, and collaborations that generates discourse on the role of radical hope and sustainable  change through the lens of environmental justice. 

Radical Hope serves as the foundation of future research, teaching, and community engagement where it takes courage, collective efficacy, and  action to not only envision a just future for human and natural communities but to actually enact  change. 

Friday’s keynote speaker will be Sachem HawkStorm, Hereditary Chief of Schaghticoke People and advocate for Indigenous rights. He will be discussing “Moving Beyond Sustainability to Regenerative Futures.” 

Saturday’s plenary session panel, “Radical Hope through Food” will feature Joe Detelj from DreamCatcher Farm, Director of Religious & Spiritual Life and organizer of the Food, Faith & Justice spring break service trip; Kurt Nelson, along with student farm leader at the Bucknell University Farm and Lewisburg Community Garden Theresa Dollar.
The session will be moderated by Cultural Anthropologist with research interests in food and tourism Professor Clare A. Sammells

There is no live remote access option available, however, sessions will be recorded and posted on the Symposium webpage.
