Winter-Spring 2001

Events:

  • February - Taking Nature Seriously: Citizens, Science, and Environment - a joint program of CSWS, the College of Arts and Sciences, Oregon Humanities Center, the Environmental Studies Program, and the departments of Biology, English, and Philosophy.
    • This conference was designed to bring together scientists, community activists, and science studies scholars who were working on environmental issues in an effort to reveal and move beyond barriers that have inhibited interaction between scholars in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and between academics and activists. From the common ground of our concern for our global environment, we devoted this conference to establishing a dialogue between the interdisciplinary fields of science studies (history, philosophy, sociology, literature, cultural studies) and environmental studies (biological and natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, management, policy, design, and law), as well as between academic research and public activism.  Such a dialogue enabled both a richer understanding of similarities and differences in our approaches to environmental problems and a realization of the common ground shared in our ultimate goals.
  • May - Feminism Unbound: an interdisciplinary graduate symposium about women, gender, and feminism - a joint program with CSWS, the Social Sciences Feminist Network Research Interest Group, and the University of Oregon Graduate School.
