2019 Jonathan Safran Foer Virtual Classroom Visit

Dear H-Environment Members,

Please see the letter below for information on the 2019 Jonathan Safran Foer Virtual Classroom Visit, a webinar event where Foer discusses issues in environmental, animal, and food ethics. Many members of this list have taken part with their students or organizations in the past, and it would be great to have even more participation in 2019. Please get in touch with any questions, and thank you for your consideration.
