We've added some great blog posts on our website. Joan Marler's remarks on her upcoming Symposium keynote "Remembering a Great Woman of Science", introducing the Symposium panelists and topics on “Voices from/for the Land: Wisdom of Place and Tradition”. Also, Miriam Robbins Dexter discusses her latest book and how she is honoring Marija Gimbutas in her current projects.
