SUMMARY:Ecological Civilization: Thirty Years of Work in China: A Webinar Series on Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute and the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology \nEcological Civilization: Thirty Years of Work in China\n  \nOver the past three decades\, the idea of Ecological Civilization has moved from philosophical and cultural discourse into public policy\, education\, and civic imagination across China. This Forum traces that longer arc—how a “civilizational” framing of ecology took root\, what currents of thought and practice helped it spread\, and what we can learn from its evolution in a rapidly modernizing society. \nFeaturing Zhihe Wang and Meijun Fan—co-leaders of the Institute for Postmodern Development of China and long-time contributors to the Center for Process Studies’ China Project—the conversation offers an inside view of the relationships\, experiments\, and ideas that have shaped Ecological Civilization in China over time.  \nIn dialogue with Stephen Posner and Mary Evelyn Tucker\, we’ll explore questions such as: \n\nWhat were the early intellectual and moral foundations of Ecological Civilization—and how have they changed?\nWhere have policy\, culture\, and grassroots practice genuinely reinforced one another\, and where have they conflicted?\n How has “tradition” been mobilized (wisely or simplistically) in the context of modernization?\nWhat aspects of China’s Ecological Civilization journey might be transferable elsewhere\, and what is deeply place-specific?\n\nThis Forum is well-suited for participants interested in the long view: the deeper story behind the headlines\, and the ongoing work of shaping ecological futures through culture\, ethics\, and systems change. \n\nTIMING\n  \nWe will conduct this live Forum on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026. After registering\, you will receive a Zoom link to join the session. \n  \n  \nSPEAKERS\n  \nZhihe Wang\, PhD\, is Director of the Institute for Postmodern Development of China and Co-Director of the China Project at the Center for Process Studies in Claremont\, California. A former senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\, he is a leading figure in constructive postmodern thought in China and has published widely on process thought\, pluralism\, and ecological futures. \n  \n  \n  \nMeijun Fan\, PhD\, is Program Director of the Institute for Postmodern Development of China and Co-Director of the China Project at the Center for Process Studies. Formerly a professor at Beijing Normal University\, her work bridges Chinese traditional aesthetics\, process philosophy\, and education\, with a focus on cultural resources for ecological transition. \n  \n  \n  \nMary Evelyn Tucker\, PhD\, co-directs the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology\, which examines cultural and religious values for broadened environmental ethics. This arose from a series of 10 conferences at Harvard on world religions and ecology that she organized with John Grim. She has published several books on Confucianism including The Philosophy of Qi. She co-edited Confucianism and Ecology (Harvard) and two volumes with Tu Weiming on Confucian Spirituality. She is the co-author of Journey of the Universe with Brian Thomas Swimme and the executive producer of the Emmy Award winning Journey film. This was inspired by Thomas Berry whose books she edited and whose biography she wrote with John Grim.They have been traveling in China since 1985 studying Ecological Civilization. \n  \nStephen Posner\, PhD\, Senior Fellow for Planetary Health at the Garrison Institute and Global Affiliate with the Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont. Stephen integrates science with contemplative practices to build understanding across cultures\, align human systems with nature\, and promote cross-sector collaboration. He has published over 50 technical and non-technical articles on sustainability science and leverage points for systems change. He currently leads initiatives related to nature assessment and ecological stewardship.” \n  \nRoots of Renewal: \nEcological Civilization in China and the Confluence of Tradition and Modernity\nGarrison Institute Webinar 2026 on Ecological Civilization\n  \nThe Garrison Institute’s Pathways to Planetary Health initiative is partnering with the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology to host a five-part online Forum series exploring Ecological Civilization in China—an evolving cultural\, ethical\, ecological\, and policy vision that asks what it would take to align human development with the flourishing of Earth’s living systems. \nRather than treating ecological civilization as primarily technical\, this series examines how social change is shaped by the relationship between tradition and modernity: where inherited worldviews and cultural traditions meet rapid development\, and where inner cultivation and public institutions must be reimagined together. Each Forum features a guest speaker in dialogue with Mary Evelyn Tucker and moderator Stephen Posner\, and invites participants into conversations that connect ideas to practice\, and values to systems change. \nAcross the series\, we move from on-the-ground conservation and thirty years of Ecological Civilization work in China\, to Daoism and classical reading as pathways for self-transformation and social reform—culminating in the launch of a new Yale Forum Ecological Civilization website designed as a living resource for learning\, teaching\, and transformation. \nModerator: Stephen Posner\, The Garrison Institute\nDiscussants: Mary Evelyn Tucker\, Yale University\, along with esteemed speakers \nWe will conduct these LIVE forums on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Reading the Chinese Classics for Self-Transformation and Social Reform: A Webinar Series on Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute and the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology \nReading the Chinese Classics for Self-Transformation and Social Reform\n  \nAcross China’s long intellectual history\, the classics have not only been texts to study\, but practices to live—resources for cultivating character\, clarifying responsibility\, and shaping public life. In a moment of rapid modernization and ecological strain\, renewed attention to classical traditions raises a timely question: how might practices of self-cultivation support social reform—and what are the limits of that hope? \nIn this Forum\, Daniel K. Gardner (Dwight W. Morrow Professor Emeritus of History and Environment\, Smith College) draws on decades of scholarship on Confucian and Neo-Confucian traditions—especially the interpretive legacy of Zhu Xi—to explore how “reading” can function as a formative discipline: training attention\, moral discernment\, and a sense of obligation to the common good.  \nIn conversation with Stephen Posner and Mary Evelyn Tucker\, we’ll explore: \n\nWhat does it mean\, in the Confucian tradition\, to read for self-transformation rather than information?\nHow did thinkers like Zhu Xi connect inner cultivation to education\, institutions\, and reform? \nHow might classical practices illuminate (or complicate) contemporary aspirations such as Ecological Civilization—especially where “tradition” is invoked in modern public discourse?\nWhat can modern leaders\, educators\, and communities responsibly take from the classics without romanticizing or instrumentalizing them?\n\nThis Forum is designed for participants interested in the deeper cultural foundations of civilizational change—where ethics\, learning\, and governance intersect\, and where transformation begins with how we form persons and publics. \n  \nTIMING\n  \nWe will conduct this live Forum on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday\, March 18\, 2026. After registering\, you will receive a Zoom link to join the session. \n  \n  \nSPEAKERS\n  \nDaniel K. Gardner\, PhD\, is the Dwight W. Morrow Professor Emeritus of History and Environment at Smith College. He has written extensively on Confucian and Neo-Confucian traditions\, including Confucianism: A Very Short Introduction and major works on Zhu Xi and classical interpretation. His work also engages contemporary environmental questions in China\, including through his book Environmental Pollution in China: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford\, 2018). \n  \nMary Evelyn Tucker\, PhD\, co-directs the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology\, which examines cultural and religious values for broadened environmental ethics. This arose from a series of 10 conferences at Harvard on world religions and ecology that she organized with John Grim. She has published several books on Confucianism including The Philosophy of Qi.

SUMMARY:Daoism and Ecological Civilization: A Webinar Series on Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute and the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology \n\nDaoism and Ecological Civilization\n  \nEcological Civilization in China often draws on traditional philosophical lineages to articulate what “living well” might mean within ecological limits. Among these\, Daoism offers a distinctive orientation: attention to harmony\, restraint\, interdependence\, and the cultivation of a way of life aligned with the patterns of the natural world. \nIn this Forum\, Chen Xia (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) explores how Daoist thought can inform—support\, complicate\, and deepen—the project of Ecological Civilization today. Moving beyond slogans\, we’ll examine Daoism as a living intellectual and ethical tradition with relevance for contemporary challenges: environmental governance\, cultural renewal\, and the formation of ecological values in public life.  \nIn conversation with Stephen Posner and Mary Evelyn Tucker\, we’ll consider questions such as: \n\nWhat elements of Daoist philosophy are most relevant to today’s ecological realities—and what gets misunderstood when Daoism is translated into modern policy language?\nHow do Daoist ideas of cultivation (of self\, society\, and relationship with the more-than-human world) connect to the “inner–outer” demands of systems change?\nCan Daoist concepts such as gongsheng (symbiosis / co-flourishing) help reframe modern narratives of progress and development? \nWhat might Daoism contribute to global conversations on ecological ethics—without flattening cultural specificity?\n\n  \nTIMING\n  \nWe will conduct this live Forum on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday\, April 14\, 2026. After registering\, you will receive a Zoom link to join the session. \n  \nSPEAKERS\n  \nChen Xia\, PhD\, is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Philosophy at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing and a former Berggruen China Center Fellow. Her research focuses on Chinese philosophy and religions\, with particular expertise in Daoism\, including Daoist ethics and ecological perspectives within Daoist thought and culture. \n  \nPeter Senge\, PhD\, is Co-Founder of the Center for Systems Awareness and Senior Lecturer in Leadership & Sustainability at MIT. Peter has been at the forefront of organizational learning since publishing his classic text\, The Fifth Discipline\, which provided theories and methods to foster aspiration\, develop reflective conversation\, and understand complexity in service of shaping learning-oriented organization cultures. He is a pioneer in systems thinking. \n  \n \nMary Evelyn Tucker\, PhD\, co-directs the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology\, which examines cultural and religious values for broadened environmental ethics.
