The Anthropocene: What Will it Mean for Practice?

11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Lynnwood Convention Center - Room 1BC
Speaker: Steve Austin, JD/ASLA, Washington State University

Description:

The goal of this session is to understand our reactions to the Anthropocene as well to illuminate the ideas that can be developed through collaborative means to help WASLA lead the profession forward. There is no predetermined outcome for this session – the idea is exploration. I anticipate that this will result in transformative dialogues – moving past defending points of view and opening up to what could be possible. HSW-Yes
