Planting the Seed: A Passion for a Sustainable Existence [April 19, 2018]
Spring 2018 Theme: Sustainability
Conceptions of sustainability range from the static, to the stable, to complex adaptive networks. The persistence or endurance of systems, processes, social constructs, and life itself requires the ability to change and evolve. As we seek to manage relations among humans, and between humans and the natural world, an understanding of sustainability will be vital to local, national, and global conversations and debates.
