Start thinking about your questions for our all-campus panel of interdisciplinary perspectives. We’re working to bring some incredible people that represent sociological and biophysical impacts, economics, industry and regulation, and grassroots voices in the media. Coming the second week in April: date, time, and location TBA in coming weeks! The ESE Keystone Series is a combination of events that brings ESE students, faculty, and staff together with the broader campus and Lafayette/West Lafayette communities to discuss a current, controversial environmental topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. Keystone is centered on open discussion that is free from political bias or topic advocacy. It focuses on conversations that encourage critical thinking and respectful exchange to analyze the complexities that are often lost in the national debate. More information on the Keystone Series will be on its way to you in coming weeks!
