** Please forward this announcement to anyone you think might be
interested in attending. **
What: Lecture on "Integral Ecology" with Professor Michael Zimmerman
Where: Old Main Chapel, University of Colorado at Boulder
When: Thursday, December 7th from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Drawing on the theoretical work of Ken Wilber, Michael E. Zimmerman
outlines the principles of integral ecology, a multi-perspectival
approach to characterizing and proposing solutions to environmental
problems. Integral ecology emphasizes that natural science is crucial
for understanding environmental problems, but so are the humanities,
social sciences, arts, and other domains of inquiry. Many human-caused
environmental problems arise from cultural attitudes and social
practices that lie beyond the purview of the natural sciences. While
welcoming insight from the perspectives of all pertinent stakeholders
and investigators, integral ecology also emphasizes that some
perspectives are better -- that is, more comprehensive, inclusive,
integrative -- than others. With co-author Sean Esbjörn-Hargens,
Professor Zimmerman is completing a book on this topic, _Integral
Ecology: Uniting Multiple Perspectives on the Natural World_.
All talks are free and intended for the public. Members of the media
are welcome to attend. For more information, please visit:
