Global Landscapes: Going G.R.E.E.N. in Changing Times
Governance, Responsibility, Ethics, Entrepreneurship, and Nature
King's College, Wilkes-Barre, PA
April 14-15, 2011
The interdisciplinary conference “Going G.R.E.E.N. in Changing Times” will assemble scholars, educators, students, and community members who are interested in the connections among business, ethics, and sustainability. Participants will examine these connections in the context of G.R.E.E.N. issues—Governance, Responsibility, Ethics, Entrepreneurship, and Nature, at different levels (local, regional, and global) and in various parts of the world (Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Europe). Interdisciplinary papers and panels on these topics are welcome.
The King’s Global Landscapes Conference is supported in part by a U.S. Department of Education Business & International Education grant, the McGowan School of Business, and the McGowan Ethics Center. The objective of this interdisciplinary conference is to promote discussion of G.R.E.E.N. issues across academic curricula and business practice. The conference will also explore different ways to: implement social, environmental, and economic sustainability; prepare a future “green collar” workforce; and bring sustainability to institutional practices, policies, and contemporary culture. The conference aims to bring together professionals, key decision makers, and leaders committed to sustainability, triple-bottom-line corporate strategies, green building, economic development, renewable energy, climate change, transportation, social equity, and corporate and consumer responsibility.
