Join us for an intimate conversation with one of the world’s most fascinating and influential women. Introduction by Terry Tempest Williams.

Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and founder of the Green Belt Movement, offers a refreshingly unique perspective on the challenges facing Africa, even as she calls for a moral revolution among Africans themselves, who, she argues, are culturally deracinated, adrift between worlds.

The lecture will be available to view online shortly after the live event at www.hum.utah.edu.

Note that this event is free and open to the public, but space is very limited and tickets are required. The Main Auditorium is now sold out. Reserve tickets are for OVERFLOW seating in the Child Lecture Hall. More information. »
