Seattle University Conversations: Brian Heywood and Sen. Reuven Carlyle Debate Initiative 2117

Pigott Auditorium / October 10th / 4pm - 6pm / Sponsored by the Department of Public Affairs and Nonprofit Leadership

Washington’s Green Future Is in Your Hands: Among many impactful decisions facing Washington voters this November is the question of whether to approve I-2117 and thereby undo Washington’s new cap-and-invest system launched last year. The program is designed to help the state meet its goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Please join us for this important, interview-style program on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. in Pigott Auditorium on the Seattle University campus. Part of Seattle University’s ongoing Conversations series, this is currently the only statewide debate on this topic open to the public.

Though often dismissed as a matter of vanity, our hair has held a richly symbolic place across cultures throughout human history. In their work, artists Nadia Ahmed, Shiloh Davies, Thalía Gochez, and Lisa Jarrett consider hair’s importance as a malleable extension of ourselves. They show the power of hair in representing our self-determined identity, signaling community or heritage, and even the passage of time and space.

Free and open to the public
