O.C. Tanner Symposium to be in April
The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at Utah State University presents the 2002 O. C. Tanner Symposium, to be held April 18, 19, and 20 on the Utah State campus in Logan. The symposium is free and open to the public. This year's topic is "The Search for a Common Language: Environmental Writing and Education." The symposium will bring together leading writers, scholars, and scientists dedicated to increasing public understanding of the environment and will explore the many ways science contributes to the human engagement with local, regional, and global landscapes. "We have assembled a distinguished and dynamic group of speakers for this symposium that will appeal to the citizens of Cache Valley and the Intermountain West," symposium organizers said. "This will be an exciting three-day opportunity to exchange ideas about the ways multiple disciplines and cultures interpret humanity's evolving relationship to nature." Speakers include William Kittredge, Annick Smith, Louis Owens, Robert M. Pyle, Ellen Meloy, Ken Brewer, Dan Flores, Jens Boesenberg, Hartmut Grassl, Jennifer Price, Kent Ryden, Ted Kerasote, Craig B. Stanford, Susan Tweit, and Keith Wilson. For more information about the speakers, a tentative schedule, and a registration form, visit our website at www.hass.usu.edu/tanner or call 435-797-3363. The 2002 Symposium is also sponsored by the American Studies Program and English Department at Utah State University. Funding was also supplied by the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation and the Utah Humanities Council.
