Loyola University Chicago

Institute of Environmental Sustainability

Religion and Nature Series

 

 

Integral ecologists are environmental scientists, ethicists, experts in religion and nature, and activists who understand that earth’s environmental crisis cannot be solved by one group alone. Environmental experts from all fields must work together. This speaker series is part of the ‘Francis Project’, a collaboration between Loyola University’s Department of Theology and the Institute of Environmental Sustainability to encourage an integral understanding of the natural world from the perspectives of both science and religion.  See the full flyer with all the speakers: Religion and Nature Speaker Series
