There will be panels on climate change, food security, and women's rights, as well as a theoretical panel on recent work on the role of informal institutions in shaping social and political outcomes and processes. A PDF flier with more information and a link to the workshop web site is attached. Each panel is open to the Purdue community without registration. In addition, if you are interested in taking a more active role in the workshop, including attending all four panels, based on your deeper interest in the study of informal institutions in general, please contact Leigh Raymond (lraymond(a)purdue.edu<mailto:lraymond@purdue.edu>) or Laurel Weldon (weldons(a)purdue.edu<mailto:weldons@purdue.edu>) for more information.

Invite : Keystone Series - Keystone XL Pipeline
by Musser, Christal A. 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Have you been curious about the Keystone XL Pipeline proposal that keeps coming up in the news? Would you like to be able to gather information and discuss the topic without worrying about who's "for" or "against" it? We created the Ecological Sciences and Engineering Keystone Series to do just that. The proposed pipeline spans 1,711 miles, crossing 7 states and 2 Canadian provinces on its way from the Canadian Oil Sands to the Gulf of Mexico; any project this large has complexities to consider from many different perspectives. We welcome you to explore the topic with us at the upcoming interdisciplinary panel discussion hosting representatives from industry, natural resource management, economics, indigenous communities, and the media. The Panel Discussion - Monday, February 27th 6:00PM-8:00PM Hall of Discovery Learning and Research (DLR 131) 5:30 PM Doors Open and Informal Reception RSVP, learn more, or discover an array of online articles and resources: www.purdue.edu/ese/keystone<http://www.purdue.edu/ese/keystone> Light refreshments offered We look forward to seeing you at the event!
