Join us for further conversation with keynote speaker Norman Wirzba. The first part of the session with be devoted to a facilitated conversation with Wirzba, focusing not only on the themes raised in his keynote address, but also on his writings in important texts such as Love’s Braided Dance (Yale, 2024), Agrarian Spirit (Notre Dame, 2022), and This Sacred Life: Humanity’s Place in a Wounded World (Cambridge, 2021). The last part of the session will be devoted to workshop activities that will provide an opportunity to think about how one might introduce some of the session’s themes on their home campuses. Conference participants who are interested in the work of agrarian thinkers such as Wendell Berry, David Orr, and Robin Wall Kimmerer will be particularly interested in this conversation.
