Background: The Keystone Series is a discussion-based series to address pressing, complex, current events in an interdisciplinary forum where diverse ideas and perspectives can be exchanged freely, without judgment or fear of non-conformity to the dominant bias.  The main event involves a panel of invited guests that typically represent various dimensions of the targeted topic including at least economics, environmental, social, policy, and media. Behind the scenes, students and faculty explore literature across physical and social science disciplines to inform and instigate discussion resulting in a series of questions that will guide selection of a panel and the basis for the panel event. Ultimately, the goal is to create a venue that engages students and faculty across campus as well as the broader public.

Previous topics: Keystone Pipeline XL; High volume gas extraction; and GMOs
