University hosts 17th Hoover Symposium Oct. 3
The university’s History and Political Science Department is hosting the 17th Hoover Symposium from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, in Hoover 105.
Joshua Hawley, author of Theodore Roosevelt: Preacher of Righteousness, will speak on the origins of the conservationist movement. Kendrick A. Clements, author of Hoover, Conservation, and Consumerism, will address the question of whether Hoover was a conservationist, an environmentalist, or something else. A panel of experts will consider whether or not history can offer practical lessons for modern environmentalists.
Registration and lunch are free for the first 100 people who register. Contact Mark Hall (Herbert Hoover Distinguished Professor of Political Science) at 503-554-2674 or mhall@georgefox.edu to register or for further information.
