Director of 抖阴短视频-Boulder聮s Natural Resources Law Center Gary Bryner will explore the challenges Americans face in preserving national parks, wild lands and biodiversity for future generations as part of the Fall Chancellor聮s Community Lecture series on Wednesday, Oct. 6.
Bryner is the former director of the Public Policy Program at Brigham Young University and also served as the Natural Resources Law Center聮s El Paso Energy Corporation Law Fellow in 1997, studying issues of mineral development in federally protected areas.
This fall, the lecture series is highlighting faculty from 抖阴短视频-Boulder聮s Center of the American West, including its co-founders Charles Wilkinson and Patricia Limerick, the Natural Resources Law Center and the Indian Law Clinic.
All talks are at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel at The Academy, located at 970 Aurora Ave. in Boulder.
Each of the monthly lectures is free and open to the public. The program is co-sponsored by The Academy and the 抖阴短视频-Boulder Office of Community Relations on Wednesday evenings once a month from September through December.
The series continues the community program launched in September of 1998 that brings 抖阴短视频 faculty into the community for talks ranging from arts and humanities to business and the sciences.
Bryner has also been involved with several other research institutions, including the Brookings Institution, the National Academy of Public Administration, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. His publications include work in the areas of air pollution and global environmental issues, and his more thematic works examine the interplay of science, law, markets, administrative behavior and regulatory policy.
Other lectures in the Fall series will include:
"Worlds of Possibility: Exploring Ethnicity in Environmental Thought" Nov. 10 by history professor and co-founder of the Center of the American West, Patricia Limerick, exploring how a recognition of ethnic diversity can enrich and redeem environmental movements.
"American Indian Tribal Sovereignty and Environmental Justice" Dec.8 by Sarah Krakoff, assistant professor and former director of the Indian Law Clinic, exploring whether tribal exercises of sovereignty concerning environmental matters inherently become questions of environmental justice for American Indians.
Parking is available along the streets bordering The Academy: Lincoln, Cascade, Aurora and 10th.
