From the Local to the Global: International Sustainability Conference
Villanova University
April 22-26, 2009
Sustainability, by one definition, means development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.
Other understandings contest this definition, asking whether it is too centered on human needs and marginalizes the needs of other planetary inhabitants. Whatever definition we apply, all meanings of sustainability imply a responsibility to other members of our earth community. We seek the sharing of perspectives on this vital responsibility via a range of formats, including panels, poster sessions, workshops, and roundtables that address the scientific, humanistic, political, economic, and ecological challenges and opportunities of true Sustainability.
Organizers are especially interested in receiving proposals that relate to sustainability or challenge dominant notions of sustainability from feminist and race theoretical perspectives. The conference program will include a keynote address by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kaiulani Lee's dramatic play about Rachel Carson, "A Sense of Wonder”, a hosted, organic dinner and a guided tour of Wissahickon Valley, part of Philadelphia's 9,200-acre Fairmount Park.
