Talk title and Description

Science and Culture on Mauna Kea

Recent court decisions and events on Hawaii island related to a proposed Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea appeared to reflect a sincere clash of values but also revealed deeper rifts in the community. Chin (’88) will discuss firsthand observations of the 2015 protests, what the Hawaii Supreme Court decision means for future projects in Hawaii, and next steps in the telescope approval process.
