Dan Cryer, assistant professor of English, will give a College Scholars presentation at 5:30 p.m. February 5, 2019 in the Hudson Auditorium. Cryer’s presentation is titled, “Bridging the Gap Between Conservation and Environmentalism.” Here is his short description of the talk: “Views of conservationists (often rural and hands-on) and environmentalists (often suburban/urban and political) can clash, but the life and work of canonical nature writer Aldo Leopold shows that we share more than we disagree on. Leopold, and the current work of the Wisconsin-based Leopold Foundation, demonstrate that concern for nature bridges many differences.” A reception from 6:30-7 p.m. will follow the presentation.
