Fifty years ago, on September 27, 1962, Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking book Silent Spring was published, launching an environmental movement in this country. Come watch a PBS film about Carson and her work. The film will be introduced by IWU’s English Professor Dr. Alison Sainsbury, and will be followed by a short discussion facilitated by students in IWU’s Sierra Student Coalition. This event is part of a cluster of campus actions for SHOUT OUT: Celebrating 50 years of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring! co-sponsored by IWU’s Sierra Student Coalition and the Environmental Studies Program.
