I discuss the ways in which global and national institutions, including universities, ‘engender’ science, technology and development.

“Soil health: perspectives and practical applications”. Abstract:

Beat that Winter Blues and come out Wednesday January 17th at 5 PM in the Graham Hall Grad Student Lounge. Join us for a fun filled night of board games, cards, or the possible settlement of Catan. Meet up with old friends and make some new ones, while enjoying a potluck of snacks. We ask if you can't bring a snack to the party that you donate 2$ to cover snack costs. Feel free to bring a board game with you if you'd like.   

Everyone is invited to join us in welcoming Scott Krayenhoff to SES.
