[Law-envtlcert] Today Nov. 5, Alda Balthrop-Lewis, Environmental Enrichment Lecture

[James Parker-Flynn]

Hello Environmental Law Students,

A friendly reminder about our Enrichment Event today at 3:30pm in MCB 208, as we welcome Professor Alda Balthrop-Lewis - Associate Professor of Religion in the FSU Department of Religion and an expert on religion and ethics - for her lecture, Thoreau's Walden: Reading Religion and Politics from the Woods. Professor Balthrop-Lewis will discuss her book, Thoreau's Religion: Walden Woods, Social Justice, and the Politics of Asceticism (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 Walden 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.
