Have you attended Grayson Lectures in the past? This year, Dr. Lauret Savoy, professor of Geology and Environmental Studies at Mount Holyoke College, will present “Alien Land Ethic: The Distance Between,” on Monday, April 27, at 6 p.m. in the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery Conference Room. Dr. Savoy is one of eight women scientists nationwide featured on the National Science Foundation’s award-winning CD-ROM, Telling Our Stories: Women in Science. She will discuss how the intertwinings of human history and geologic-natural history contribute to stories we tell of land’s origin and history, and to stories we tell of ourselves in the land and of relational identity.
Come back to campus on the 27th and let us know what you thought of the lecture. If you’ve attended others in the Grayson series, tell us about your favorite. We’d love to hear.
