Tonight, July 20, Aquinas College presents an Economicology Forum by Dr. Mitchell Thomashow. Thomashow will be discussing the role of the liberal arts, especially the humanities, a reconceptualization of environmental science and the foundational concepts that should be at the core of environmental learning.



The environmental field is dramatically changing, and Thomashow's presentation will explore how it requires new iteration of curricular leadership, a generation of practitioners and approaches by colleges and universities.
