SUMMARY:THE GREAT LAKES ROUNDTABLE
DESCRIPTION:
 The Great Lakes Roundtable will bring together 
 Canadian and American scholars, writers, and 
 policymakers who are interested in the ways 
 that Canada and the U.S. have historically used 
 and approached the Great Lakes. Underlying 
 the roundtable is the idea that understanding 
 the Great Lakes' past (particularly in the 
 20th century) is fundamental for comprehending 
 the present and considering the future. The 
 central theme for this particular meeting will 
 be the recent renegotiation of the Great Lakes 
 Water Quality Agreements, which builds upon 
 the 1972 and 1978 agreements. In addition 
 to addressing the waters of the Great Lakes, 
 the roundtable will engage other transborder 
 issues that are inherently intertwined with 
 environmental issues and water quality. The roundtable 
 also will forge connections that will 
 lead to linkages between institutions, academics, 
 and policymakers on both sides of the 
 border. Speakers include Fulbright Scholar Daniel 
 Macfarlane, Consul General Roy Norton, 
 State Senator Rebekah Warren.\n\n
