OSHER 53 - Special Osher Lecture for Utah Presents: Vandana Shiva

Time Magazine identified Dr. Shiva as "an environmental hero" in 2003, and in November 2010, Forbes Magazine named Dr. Shiva one of the Seven Most Powerful Women on the Globe. For the last two decades, Dr. Shiva's organization Navdanya has worked with local communities and organizations, serving more than 500,000 farmers, resulting in the conservation of more than 3,000 rice varieties from across India, and the creation of 60 seed banks in 16 states across the country. In partnership with Utah Presents, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is pleased to offer a one hour lecture providing context for Dr. Shiva's work and her talk, as well as a ticket to her presentation. The lecture will take place from 6 pm - 7 pm. Dr. Shiva's presentation begins at 7:30 pm in Libby Gardner Concert Hall.
