Illinois State Hosts Science Seminar March 27

Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan’s Sigma Xi will host Joan Brehm, who will present “Enhancing Lake Management Efforts Through the Nexus of Place Attachment and Behavior” on Thursday, March 27, at 5:30 p.m. in room 369 of the Illinois State College of Business Building.  The presentation is free and open to the public.

Brehm is a professor of sociology and anthropology at Illinois State.  Her research analyzes the interactions among place attachment, place meanings and willingness to support or engage in environmentally responsible behaviors. 

Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, was founded in 1886 as an honor society for scientists and engineers to foster interaction among science, technology and society, encourage appreciation and support of original work in science and technology and honor scientific accomplishments.
