Conference connects environmental leaders in Boulder and beyond

BioneersThree concerns — restoring the environment, advocating social justice and promoting sustainability — converge at Colorado Bioneers, an annual conference set for Oct. 16-18 at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Bioneers gathers scientific and environmental leaders who collaborate on problem solving. Billed as "visionary and practical solutions for restoring the Earth and people," the conference is in its 20th year overall. This is the seventh year for the companion Colorado event, co-presented by CU Boulder's Environmental Center, Transition Colorado, CU's Continuing Education and Professional Studies, Denver's Blue and Yellow Logic, Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, and Woodbine Ecology Center.

Registration is $20 per day, with discounts for educators, students and others. For more information and to register, go to http://ecenter.colorado.edu/bioneers09

Center for Humanities and Arts invites fellows to examine China

Some scholars say China shows the potential to be the most influential country in the 21st century. The Center for Humanities and the Arts (CHA) at the University of Colorado at Boulder has named "China" its theme for the 2010-2011 academic year, inviting all members of the CU community to take part in a conversation on the many forms "China" can take in our lives.

The CHA — which serves as a focal point for humanistic research, creative work and artistic performance at CU Boulder — will conduct a yearlong faculty and graduate student seminar, host a series of lectures and public performances and hold a Spring Colloquium.

Six faculty members and three graduate students will be chosen as CHA fellows for the year. For details on submitting applications, which are due in January, go to the CHA Web site.
