Luther S. and Dorothy Cecilia Cressman
Lecture in the Humanities
The Cressman lecture was inaugurated in 1997 with a generous bequest from former UO anthropology professor and archaeologist Luther S. Cressman. As is stated in the bequest, the lectureship's goal is “the presentation and illumination of fundamental humanities issues that confront . . . societies centrally occupied with science, technology, and business.”

This talk will highlight some of the ethical and spiritual approaches that are being undertaken by various faith communities in an effort to transform our ecological attitudes and practices.
