When the term "sustainability" refers to so many complex aspects of our social and environmental life -- including sustaining ecosystems, land and water formations, human communities, and way of life -- what do we really mean when we say, "sustainability"?

Panelists:
Bryan McDonald
Sherwin Early Career Professor in the Rock Ethics Institute and associate professor of history
Courtney Morris
Assistant professor of African American studies and women's, gender and sexuality studies.
Erica Smithwick
Associate professor of geography and director of the Ecology Institute
The panel will be moderated by Peter Buckland of the Sustainability Institute.
