Coos History Museum, Nov. 3

“HOW DO OUR VALUES INFLUENCE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY?” – SAT. NOV. 4TH! 6:30-7:30PM.  Most of us would agree that natural resources and our surrounding environment have value, but what that value is—and how to protect it—are usually up for debate. Given competing interests and visions of the public good, how do we protect our common resources such as land, water, and air? Join philosopher Monica Mueller to explore our environmental values and question how those values are reflected—or not reflected—in current local, national, and global environmental policies. This is a free community conversation with PSU professor Monica Mueller on Sat. Nov. 4th at 6:30-7:30pm at Coos History Museum. Monica Mueller is an instructor of philosophy at the Portland State University and specializes in ethical and political philosophy. Oregon Humanities Conversation Project brings Oregonians together to talk—across differences, beliefs, and backgrounds—about important issues and ideas. Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state’s future. This is a free Museum sponsored event, will be held from 6:30-7:30pm on Saturday, Nov. 4th at the Museum on N Front Street.
