Monday, 11/23

“Balancing Growth and Sustainability: Brazil and the Challenges of Large Developing Economies”
Brazil’s economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. Satisfying short-term energy needs generates serious consequences for the global environment. Paulo Sotero is uniquely qualified to discuss the challenges facing Brazil and other large, rapidly-growing economies as they try to reconcile short-term demand and long-term sustainability. A journalist by training, he has worked around the world for some of Brazil’s leading newspapers. He is a member of the Grupo de Conjuntura Internacional, a forum of discussion of Brazilian foreign and trade policies at the University of São Paulo, and the Fernando Braudel Institute of World Economics, also based in São Paulo. Sotero is a frequent lecturer on Brazilian and Latin American affairs at U.S. universities and think tanks, and has appeared on national radio and television news programs, including To the Point (PRI), the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and Foreign Exchange with Fareed Zakaria (PBS), and the Diane Rehm Show (WAMU).

| Food, Inc. in the 900 Rm! |
Posted: 11/10/2009 4:13:52 PM |
| Come watch the acclaimed documentary, Food, Inc. in the 900 Room, this Sunday the 15th at 7:00 PM. Brought to you by the Eco-House and Union Board, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone says, "Don't take another bite till you see Food, Inc., an essential, indelible documentary."
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
This movie came out earlier this year and has received spectacular reviews. So, come watch it this Sunday, and stick around afterwards to hear about how you can make smart choices about food in Davidson from members of the Eco-House. |

| 2009-2010 Bank of America Lecture Series: Responding to the Global Energy Challenge: Technology, Policy and Security
Opening Lecture: "The Energy Emergency: National Security, Climate Change, and Global Poverty"
With Michael A. Levi
Tuesday, 9/29
7:30pm
C. Shaw Smith 900 Room
Michael A. Levi is the David M. Rubenstein senior fellow for energy and the environment and Director of the Program on Energy Security and Climate Change at the Council on Foreign Relations. His keen understanding of the foreign policy and global energy landscapes have made him a sought-after authority on the intersection of these issues. His two books and numerous articles have frequently challenged conventional wisdom on national security, nuclear arms, technology and development, energy security, and climate change. Levi's address will focus on how energy challenges -- from global dependence on oil from hostile regimes to the threat of catastrophic climate change to the over-one-billion people still living without electricity -- will force us to change how we think about foreign policy, and force world leaders to find new approaches to these ever-evolving challenges.
