Wes Jackson and David Orr in conversation

In celebration of 40 years of the Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures, and in anticipation of the October 25, 2020 Lectures with Kali Akuno and George Monbiot, we are highlighting the work of past speakers, asking for updates of their earlier remarks, and inviting them to reflect on current conditions.

On Thursday, August 13 at 2pm Eastern, Wes Jackson and David Orr engaged in a live, virtual conversation on Zoom moderated by David Bollier. They reflected on their original talks given current political, economic, and social realities with comments on each other’s work. Registration is free.
