Current Sidore Lecture Series

The “Human Health, Planetary Health, and What Sustains Us” symposium will take place on Friday, March 7, 2025, 8:30 a.m.3:00 p.m., in the MUB Granite State Room. The symposium will offer an expansive view of health and sustainability, posing questions and connections meant to inspire and interrogate ideas about what it means to cultivate a community committed to supporting health, well-being, and sustainability for all. Scientists, philosophers, and other speakers will raise and provide perspectives on critical questions including: How does the climate crisis impact human and planetary health, especially among the most vulnerable populations?  What are some of the perspectives, ideas, and solutions we need to ensure health, well-being, and sustainability for all, now and into the future?


The Saul O Sidore Memorial Lecture Series was established in 1965 in memory of Saul O Sidore of Manchester, New Hampshire. The purpose of the series is to offer the University community and the state of New Hampshire programs that raise critical and sometimes controversial issues facing our society. The University of New Hampshire Center for the Humanities sponsors the programs. Lectures are free and open to the public.
