An evening of theatre and discussion surrounding the nuclear waste events in North County St. Louis. The evening will start with a staged reading of Purple Heart City an original play written by Taylor Gruenloh, Assistant Professor of Theatre. The evening will end with a discussion moderated by Dr. Michael Peterson, Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Dr. Peterson's research deals with questions of responsibility in intergenerational contexts, asking what contemporary generations owe to each other and could owe to future people who do not yet exist, as well as thinking about enduring institutions and injustice. He recently published his first monograph, "Derrida and Inheritance in Environmental Ethics: The Half-Lives of Responsibility."
