The E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has announced its 2020-21 series, “Regeneration: Leadership and Hope for a Changing Planet.” In its 32nd season, the forum will welcome four acclaimed speakers — Mary Pipher, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez and Ann Bancroft — and host a new youth panel.
Through discussion of environmental concerns, history, grassroots activism and polar exploration, this year’s speakers and the youth panel will focus on how people can and should thoughtfully respond to current issues, from COVID-19 to climate change to political polarization.
All events except for the youth panel will be at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. The panel will be at the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts.
