2007 Distinguished Scholar Presentation: Anthony
Weston, “Green Dreaming: Environmental Visions After
the Emergency,” an invitation and
workshop
McKinnon Hall, 7 p.m.
Since the rise of environmentalism, we
have learned to fear for ourselves and for the Earth maybe
never so much as now. Yet environmentalism can — and
must — also offer a new set of hopes and visions: ways
to re-animate the culture, re-direct technology, re-imagine
economies. “Green dreaming” may be just as
necessary to the work of the moment as recycling and
renewable energy.
