Rewilding Place: Ethical Considerations of Theory and Practice

Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Hillel 101

Bush of berries in a field
A day-long symposium featuring researchers, philosophers, and artists who engage, challenge, and nuance the notion of rewilding, and its associated conservation practices of land preservation, restoration, and rematriation. These perspectives ask us to consider ethical issues related to how we develop and maintain ecological diversity and who has the agency and authority to do so.
