Community Forums
Antioch supports a place for local and gobal concerns to be voiced in many ways and one is through community forums and workshops. Between classes, papers, and working, some of the forums I have managed to attend are:
The Mountain Top Removal Road Show about the impact of mountaintop removal coal mining on residents, communities, and the environment in the southern Appalachians, The Psychology of Caring of the Planet about how we connect to nature, how we communicate about our relationships with nature, and what inspires us to conservation action, Reverential Ecology: A Journey Toward Wholeness about the relationship between earth and ourselves, King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation.
There have been many other events and activities that happen at Antioch University New England for the students and community at large and there will be many more to come.
