In the decades since legislators and the public first embraced the concept of a balance of nature, however, the scientific community has been undermining the theory. Rather than persisting in stable harmony, nature is now thought to behave in much more dynamic ways, characterized by flux, disturbance and renewal. The First Annual Cummings Colloquium on Environmental Law at Duke University will explore possibilities for rethinking environmental law and policies to adapt to this dynamic view of nature. The Colloquium will convene an interdisciplinary group of scholars and experts from the fields of ecology, law, public policy, and philosophy to address these compelling issues.
Admission is free and open to the public.
