The Commons: Issues and Quandaries
(a video of the lecture will be available soon - stay tuned!)
The first lecture of the series was attended by students, community members and faculty.
Becky Warner, Janet Lee and Lani Roberts, faculty at OSU
Carly Johnson, grad student
Emil Rogers and Eric Johnson
Once the audience was seated, Rob Birdwell played "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Aaron Copeland.
Cassandra Robertson provided the musical interludes between each partof the lecture.
Charles Goodrich used poetry to illuminate some of the concepts raised by Kathleen Dean Moore in her talk about how the commons in our world today might be reimagined.
The evening was a great success with lots of questions from the audience afterwards. The discussion was lively and the mood was one of hopefulness and curiosity about the future.
