Rebellious Religion: Conservation 
Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 12:30-2:00pm 
Light lunch provided. 

What happens if we run out of resources, energy, and ultimately of time? Is depletion the only path ahead or is repair possible? Scholars of religion have increasingly turned their attention to spiritual ideas and community situated approaches in understanding what it means to live amid resource extraction. Join us as we think together about the interpretive failures, challenging legacies, and the potential for resilient responses in the current moment.
