Symposium Panel: Visions of the Good Life

Date: October 27 2009 3:00pm - 4:30pm Location: Stamm Hall

What visions of the good life have guided the American environmental movement and society? Is the green life the good life, or if not, what is missing? The Pacific Northwest is often viewed as an ecological utopia, yet is this vision of the good life a reality here? What should be the role of technology in achieving our vision of the good life? What cultural, psychological, or political forces may support or hinder our attainment of these visions?

Scheduled to Appear:
Amanda Fritz, Commissioner, City of Portland
Hindi Iserhott, President of the Board, City Repair
Jim Kopp, Director, Watzek Library, Lewis and Clark College
