The annual Earth Day Colloquium is a completely FREE, student run, two-day event celebrating research being conducted in the field of Environment and Sustainability. Embracing the interdisciplinary nature of this field, the Colloquium provides a forum for a broad range of topics in the Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, Arts, Humanities, Business, Policy, and Management.

The Earth Day Colloquium is seeking abstracts of 175 words for projects that relate to all facets of environment and sustainability. Presenters have the option of giving a full presentation (15 mins), a “speed talk” (5 mins), or a poster presentation. UPDATED: The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 22, 2013. All presentations will take place on April 12, 2013.

Earth Day presenters are also invited to attend a workshop with Dr. Bron Taylor, Professor of Religion and Environmental Ethics at the University of Florida. The workshop will concentrate on Dr. Taylor’s research in progress concerning radical environmental movements, and specifically, the Earth First! movement of the 1980s and 1990s.
