Diehm has been Coordinator of the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point
Environmental Ethics Program (where J. Baird Callicott taught the world’s first course in Environmental Ethics in 1971) from 2007-present. He has taught courses there in Philosophy of Nature, Environmental Ethics, Native American Environmental Philosophies, Deep Ecology, Eco-Feminism, Nature Conservation in Historical and Philosophical Perspective, and a variety of senior seminars in Environmental Philosophy (Ethics of Wildlife Conservation, Environmental Philosophy and the Experience of Nature, Biocentrism and Biodiversity,
Environmental Activism in Theory and Practice, Anthropocentrism and Non-Anthropocentrism, Radical Environmentalism, The Philosophy of Holmes Rolston, III), and won his university’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2013.
He has published widely in the field, and is currently completing a book manuscript tentatively entitled “Connected to Nature.” As part of the book project, he completed a fellowship with the Nature Conservancy’s Global Cities program, which led to a couple presentations to them on the topics below.
This event will consist of the following:
1) A three-part open lecture series, likely on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday/Thursday night, of the week
March 15-19. Abstracts are available to the committee now. These lectures, tying together environmental
philosophy, social science, and education, would be geared towards a more general/interdisciplinary audience,
and would take place in a suitable lecture venue (originally scheduled for UC Theatre). In keeping with the
theme of “Water,” he will hone in on examples that foreground water in the general environmental
presentations.
