Announcing the call for poster, presentation, and creative works abstracts for the 9th Annual Sustainability Symposium at Bucknell University, currently anticipated to be in person April 22-23, 2022, following Bucknell University’s COVID guidelines.
This year’s Sustainability 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.
We invite students, faculty, researchers, artists, and practitioners to share their work and experience at Bucknell’s 9th annual Sustainability Symposium. The Sustainability Symposium is a great place to showcase and share your projects and research with others through posters, oral presentations, demonstrations, and displays of creative works. Abstracts will be peer reviewed and accepted abstract proceedings will be published through the Bucknell Digital Commons.
