While the name “Sense and Sustainability” may sound like a familiar book title, don’t confuse it with the famous Jane Austen novel.The name is given to the upcoming monthly public lecture series Brenau University is sponsoring. The first lecture is scheduled for 5-6 p.m. Tuesday in the Brenau student auditorium SUB in Gainesville. The lectures are free, open to the public and will cover a new topic on sustainability each month.Dr. Rudi Kiefer, professor of science and director of sustainability at Brenau, says sustainability is about the issues that deserve attention for the sake of improving the quality of human life, and the lectures will incorporate these elements.“It’s about being aware of the constant changes around us — cultures, lifestyles, governments, even the climate — and trying to find ways of making this the best of all possible worlds,” said Kiefer, whose Sunday column in The Times “Earth Sense” focuses on such topics.Lecture speakers will include Brenau faculty members, selected students and guests with an expertise in regional and global sustainability.
