Sustainability and the crisis of expertise
Dr. Jeff Howard, Urban and Public Affairs
October 17, 2009

Assistant Professor Jeff Howard will discuss how our systems of knowledge production, technological innovation, and professional practice make it possible for our civilization to disrupt the natural systems of which our success and survival depend. Howard, Ph.D., received the UT Arlington Service Learning Award in 2009. He was founding co-chair of the President’s Sustainability Committee on which he continues to serve. His efforts heightened awareness of our institutional responsibility to preserve the environment and support a sustainable economy. His research in the School of Urban and Public Affairs focuses on the role scientific and technical experts have played in democratic society’s failure to develop in environmentally sustainable fashion.
