The College of Arts and Sciences Awards Sarah Wald a Program Grant for Public Lands Symposium

Sarah Wald (Environmental Studies and English) has won a $6000 CAS Program Grant to support a symposium focusing on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion on public lands. The symposium will focus on public land use and access to racial, ethnic, LGBTQ, and disability communities in Oregon. It will foster a public conversation among well-known and emerging scholars and practitioners, both federal and non-governmental, who are engaged in efforts toward inclusion throughout the Pacific Northwest. The symposium will foreground multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarly perspectives across the social sciences and humanities.
