Apr 23, 2018–Apr 23, 2018 from 10:00am–4:00pm

Symposium: After the West—Rethinking John Muir’s Trail

Please join us for a special symposium as part of UC San Diego’s John Muir College 50th Anniversary Celebration.

What is the role of John Muir today? In a time where environmentalism has never been more widespread and, yet, more necessary, can his thought still shape our debates and politics? On April 23, 2018, Muir’s birthday and Earth Day, some of the world’s foremost interpreters of his work and major figures of the environmental humanities debate will address these topics and questions, as they provide new insights into the legacy of this extraordinary figure. Presenters:

• Joni Adamson
• Terry Gifford
• Linda Hogan
• Scott Slovic
• Kim Stanley Robinson
• Pasquale Verdicchio

The symposium will be held in the Village 15B room, and will be open to the public from 10–12pm and 2–4pm (space will be closed from 12–2pm for a closed working lunch). Space is limited in this room, allowing for a more intimate discussion. Organized by Cristina Della Coletta, UC San Diego Dean of Arts and Humanities, John Moore (Muir College) and Serenella Iovino (University of Turin), this symposium, After the West: Rethinking John Muir, is an invitation to think again, with, and after John Muir on this open horizon.
