Dr. Darla Schumm, assistant professor of religious studies at Hollins University <\/div>\n

The next Suter Science Seminar<\/a> at EMU will focus on one Mennonite group’s farming practices as an alternate response to the current ecological crises. <\/p>\n

Dr. Darla Schumm, assistant professor of religious studies at Hollins University, Roanoke, will speak on "Cow Comfort, Pig Palaces and Chicken Coops: Rethinking Mennonite Conceptions of Community as an Ecological Response" 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21 in room 104 of the Suter Science Center. <\/p>\n

In her presentation, Schumm will argue that a "simple life" approach is no longer adequate for Mennonites to utilize in addressing ecological concerns of the 21st century. Rather, she will commend another aspect of their heritage – "a sense of community" – in responding to current ecological concerns. <\/p>\n

She will examine Mennonite farming practices in rural Ontario that demonstrate the need to rethink definitions of community in light of changes brought about by a shift from primarily substance farming to factory farming. <\/p>\n

Refreshments will be served 15 minutes prior to the presentation. <\/p>\n

Admission to the seminar is free. For more information, contact Dr. Roman Miller at 540-432-4412; email millerrj@emu.edu<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
