The Green Institute's
Initiative in Interdisciplinary Studies

The Initiative adresses issues of religion, ecology, governance. Also, the Society for Conservation Biology has accepted the new working group on Religion and Conservation Biology chaired by Baugh. Cracks in the Ice is the newest offering, in which Baugh proposes that the response of religion and theology to the environmental crisis has not been timely or significant enough to help stop the slide of civilization into chaos.

Tom's newest book review is Modernism and Fascism: The sense of beginning under Mussolini and Hitler, by Roger Griffin.


The Green Institute is proud to announce that we have commissioned community organizer, journalist and Hip-Hop activist Rosa Clemente to write a series of four articles for the Green Institute. The first article will address Women of Color in positions of Leadership, and three other articles will follow on the first of the month.

Born and raised in the South Bronx she is a graduate of the University of Albany and Cornell University. A much sought after commentator, political activist, community organize and independent reporter, Rosa has been delivering workshops, presentations and commentary for over ten years. For more details, please see her website.
