IHS Continues Indiana Town Hall Series on Environmental Issues

November 11, 2010

Indianapolis—The Indiana Historical Society will kick off its second of a three-part Indiana Town Hall Series, covering the subject of environmental concerns, on Thursday, Nov. 18. This month’s free program, Urban Environmental Issues & Opportunities, will take place in the Frank and Katrina Basile Theater at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. The History Center, home of the IHS and the Indiana Experience, is located at 450 W. Ohio St. in downtown Indianapolis.

The Indiana Town Hall Series is an ongoing series of public forum discussions with expert panelists exploring contemporary, yet enduring, topics from a variety of perspectives. While the program itself begins at 7 p.m., participants are encouraged to arrive as early as 6 p.m. to meet with representatives from local environmentally-focused groups, enjoy light refreshments and pose their own questions that will be used in the dialogue between panelists.

Urban Environmental Issues & Opportunities will explore the unique environmental challenges and opportunities facing urban communities like Indianapolis. Learn about Marian University’s EcoLab from Deb Lawrence, vice president of administration and general counsel at Marian University, as well as efforts underway at Butler University’s Center for Urban Ecology from its director, Tim Carter. Rounding out the discussion will be Lenore Tedesco, Director for the Center of Earth and Environmental Science at IUPUI; Chris Harrell, Indianapolis’ Brownfield Redevelopment Coordinator; and Michael Terry, IndyGo CEO. The session will be moderated by David Craig of IUPUI’s Religious Studies Department.

The Indiana Town Hall Series will include one more evening in 2010—the Dec. 16 program will focus on Rural Environmental Issues & Opportunities. The 2010 Indiana Town Hall Series is presented in part by Schmidt Associates Inc. with support from the IUPUI School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and has been made possible through a matching grant from the Indiana Humanities Council in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
