welcome <b>Professor Alda Balthrop-Lewis</b> – Associate Professor of Religion in the FSU Department of Religion and an expert on religion and ethics – for</span> her
<span style="color:black">lecture,</span> <b><i><span style="color:black">Thoreau's Walden: Reading Religion and Politics from the Woods</span></i></b><span style="color:black">. Professor Balthrop-Lewis</span> will discuss her book,
<i>Thoreau's Religion: Walden Woods, Social Justice, and the Politics of Asceticism
</i>(Cambridge, 2021), in which she explores how Thoreau's time in the woods was oriented not only toward contemplative ecstasy in nature but also toward just economy: for those enslaved in the South, for those who labored in the North, and for those whose
lives he knew best in Concord. In doing so, Professor Balthrop-Lewis suggests we might reread
<i>Walden</i> not as the individualist, naturalist bible as it has long been interpreted, but instead as a text invested in matters of justice for both humans and the ecological communities they live among.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
