EVOLUTIONARY STUDIES COLLABORATIVE

◙

St. Francis College

The Mission of the Evolutionary Studies Collaborative (ESC) is to advance the study and discussion of evolution using an interdisciplinary approach. The Goals include working with students, faculty, and administrators to include clear and robust elements of evolution in courses, to foster an open conversation about evolution on campus (as well as in the classroom), and to promote a greater awareness and understanding of evolution in campus-wide (public) forums.

What we are doing now:

°        Collaborating with the ASEBL Journal / blog and Editions Bibliotekos website (ongoing)

°        Working on the second Moral Sense Conference

°        Independent Study (guided reading, particularly for non-science majors)

What we have planned:

°         Reading from Being Human: Call of the Wild [6 February, 4pm, Founders Hall]

°         Film/discussion: Are We Born Good? [TBA, April 2013]
