>The Center for Ethics at The University of Montana will hold its second
>annual Environmental Ethics Institute July 30—August 9. The institute
>provides an opportunity for scholars, students, professionals, and
>interested citizens to gather in Missoula, MT to discuss and reflect on
>environmental issues. The institute consists of two courses and an evening
>lecture series.   The courses require 4 to 5 weeks of asynchronous on-line
>study prior to the 4 to 5 days of face-to-face contact in Missoula.
>
>Few universities offer a setting with such beauty and recreational
>resources as The University of Montana. Missoula is a dynamic college town
>surrounded by mountains. It is located at the confluence of three rivers:
>the Clark Fork of the Columbia, the Blackfoot and the Bitterroot.  The
>Rattlesnake Wilderness Area is within minutes of campus by bicycle or city
>bus, and Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks are within easy driving
>distance.
>
>Courses:
>From July 30 to August 2, Anna Peterson will teach “Value and Practice.”
>Dr. Peterson is a Professor in the Department of Religion at the University
>of Florida. She is widely published in environmental ethics, most notably
>her book, Being Human:  Ethics, Environment, and Our Place in the World.
>From August 6-10, Andrew Light, returns for his second year at the
>institute to teach “Environmental Ethics and Policy.” Professor Light holds
>positions in the Department of Philosophy & Evans School of Public Affairs
>at the University of Washington. He is a prolific author and engaging
>speaker and teacher. The format for these courses is part on-line and part
>face-to-face. Students will meet on-line to discuss the readings for
>several weeks before class meets in Missoula. This allows the intense one-
>week session to be more productive. For details and registration, visit the
>Center’s Web site:  www.umt.edu/ethics
