DENIN Dialogues

As part of the DENIN Dialogue Speaker Series, award-winning environmental writer, Terry Tempest Williams, was interviewed by McKay Jenkins, Cornelius Tighman Professor of English.

The hallmark of DENIN-sponsored speaker events is that they bring together scholars from various disciplines for a meaningful dialogue with the public on environmental issues.

DENIN Dialogues are our highest profile events featuring internationally renowned guests. They are usually structured as an on-stage conversation between the guest and a knowledgeable interviewer followed by a substantial question-and-answer period with the audience. Past guests have included Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; Daniel Hillel, winner of the 2012 World Food Prize; and Terry Tempest Williams, environmental author and activist.

The DENIN Distinguished Scientist Lectures are designed to engage the audience on a slightly more technical level and generally feature a prominent scientist giving an illustrated talk. In either case, the public is invited to learn more and engage with inspiring environmental thinkers and experts. 

Details about any upcoming DENIN speakers will be listed below.
