Curt Meine, CHN’s Director for Conservation Biology and History and Senior Fellow, kicked off a month-long Summer Institute for College and University Faculty in Prescott Arizona, “A Fierce Green Fire at 100: Aldo Leopold and the Roots of Environmental Ethics.” The institute, sponsored by the Arizona State University Institute for Humanities Research and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, is being held in Prescott, Arizona and focuses on the evolving land ethic of Aldo Leopold from a humanities perspective. The program was developed as part of the observance of the centennial of Leopold’s arrival in the American Southwest in 1909, and is designed to examine Leopold’s life and legacy from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Participants in the institute include students and scholars from a variety of fields, including philosophy, literature, history, women’s studies, theology, political science, and conservation biology. Those interested in the content and further details are invited to visit the institute’s website at http://ihr.asu.edu/leopold/home.
