Beyond Earth, Beneath the Trees: Rethinking Our Place in Nature

As the climate shifts and conversations around sustainability deepen, faculty at the University of Minnesota’s College of Liberal Arts explore what it means to live responsibly on a changing planet—and what our relationship with nature reveals about who we are, and who we might become. From wildfire ecology to Martian colonization and the philosophy of environmental agency, their work challenges us to reconsider where we stand and how we move forward.
