Stegner Center 2020-2021 Events

Posted on October 29, 2020October 29, 2020 by Jonelle White

 

The Wallace Stegner Center’s 26th annual symposium on “The Plastics Paradox: Societal Boon or Environmental Bane?” will be held on Thursday to Friday, March 25-26, 2020. It will explore the role of plastics in the modern world; the environmental impacts of plastic production, use, and disposal; and the ongoing debate about the need, viability, and desirability of alternatives to plastics. The symposium  includes presentations and panel discussions about the history of plastic, its benefits and costs, legal issues surrounding plastics regulation, and the impacts of plastic on the environment, from production to disposal. The annual Stegner Lecture will place plastics in the larger context of our consumptive lifestyles, while day two includes an opening keynote and two facilitated panel discussions—with extensive audience dialogue—about global, national, and local solutions to the plastics paradox.

Professor Karen Bradshaw, William H. Pedrick Scholar at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, is the 16th annual Stegner Center Young Scholar. Professor Bradshaw delivers her Young Scholar Lecture on November 11, 2020 on “Wildlife as Property Owners.” Professor Bradshaw will explore how existing legal solutions to stem catastrophic biodiversity loss are failing and ask if the answer to saving plants and animals rests in property law.

The Stegner Center will host a variety of speakers for its noon-hour green bag speaker series. Speakers include the following:

  • “COVID-19 and its Impact in Indian Country” with Heather J. Tanana, Assistant Professor of Law (Research) & Wallace Stegner Center Fellow, S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah; Associate Faculty, Center for American Indian Health – Johns Hopkins University
  • “Bridging the Rural/Urban Divide on the Environment” with Robert Bonnie, leader of the Farm and Forest Carbon Solutions Initiative at the Bipartisan Policy Center and Executive-in-Residence at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University

  • “Re-Bisoning the West: Restoring an American Icon to the Landscape” with Kurt Repanshek, award-winning journalist
