Vandana Shiva In Person at UP for the 2024 Zahm Lecture! (Sep. 10)

August 17, 2024

Don’t miss this special evening with Vandana Shiva, PhD, for her talk “Earth Democracy: The Democracy of All Life.” Earth Democracy connects us through the perennial renewal and regeneration of life – from our daily life to the life of the universe. It is the universal story of our times, in our different places and pulsates with the limitless potential of an unfolding universe even while it addresses the real threats to our very survival as a species.

Shiva is the author of over 20 books and was identified by Time Magazine as an environmental “hero” and by Forbes Magazine as one of the “Seven most Powerful Women on the Globe”. Shiva is a scholar, environmental activist, ecofeminist, and food sovereignty and anti-globalization advocate based in Delhi. 

September 10, Buckley Center Auditorium, 7:00 p.m.
