“Which Side Are You On?” a Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series talk by Garret Keizer, Writer.
The issue of environmental justice assayed from a viewpoint both leftishly biased and locally based. Questions raised: Why has “environmentalist” become a dirty word? What are the limits of environmentalism under capitalism? For whom will you be working ten years from now? Will you be working at all?

In the fall of 2024, the New Perennials team—with input from students and community partners—designed and launched the Community Roots Apprentice Fellowship (CRAF). This project creates a cohort of five Middlebury College students who apprentice with five practitioners drawn from local Middlebury nonprofits, community organizations, and businesses. Over the course of ten weeks (approximately 25 hours), students connect with well-rooted Vermont practitioners who share their crafts and skills in a low-stress, off-campus setting.
