Global sustainability to be examined in symposium
Howard Bloom, author of "The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History," will give the keynote address at The Graduate Institute's 8th annual symposium on Saturday, May 7.
Titled "Creating an Ethos for Global Sustainability," the symposium will take place 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in Rm. 202, Osborn Memorial Laboratories, 165 Prospect St. The event is free and open to the public.
Bloom, who is also the author of "Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind From The Big Bang to the 21st Century," headed the Howard Bloom Organization in the 1970s and 1980s, and was responsible for building the careers of many legendary musicians.
His writings have appeared in The Washington Post, Wired, and New Ideas in Psychology, as well as in the two-book series "Research in Biopolitics" and the Disinformation Company's series of three books "You Are Being Lied To," "Everything You Know Is Wrong" and "Abuse Your Illusions." He also gives weekly commentary on NPR's "The Infinite Mind."
Bloom's latest book is titled "Reinventing Capitalism: Putting Soul in the Machine."
The Peabody Museum of Natural History will host a lecture by primatologist Jane Goodall, an internationally renowned expert on chimpanzees, on Tuesday, May 10.
Goodall's talk, titled "Reasons for Hope," will be held at 5 p.m. in Battell Chapel, corner of College and Elm streets. A book signing will follow in Dwight Hall, 67 High St. The events, which are free and open to the public, are sponsored by the Peabody Museum, Women in Science at Yale, the Yale Student Environmental Coalition and the Yale Undergraduate Anthropology Group. For further information, visit www.peabody.yale.edu or call (203) 432-6646.
In her lecture, Goodall will discuss her work with chimpanzees as well as the related topics of international wildlife research, education and conservation.
Goodall has been studying the behavior of chimpanzees since 1960, when she first began living in their environment at the Gombe Game Reserve in Tanzania. She has been the scientific director of the Gombe Stream Research Center since 1967.
Goodall, who has received national and international honors and awards for her work, is the founder of The Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation, an organization which provides ongoing support for field research on wild chimpanzees. The institute is widely recognized for establishing community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, and for creating the Roots and Shoots education program, which has groups in more than 90 countries.
