The Seymour Library welcomes Dr. Mitch Wagener. Dr. Wagener is a professor at WestConn teaching biology, ecology, climate ecology and related courses. His research interests include the impact of historical events on the land and peoples-- such as the Industrial Revolution or the impact conventional farming placed on the Great Plains of the Midwest.
The Dust Bowl (as it came to be known) was caused by many factors--political, economical and by the weather. Dr. Wagener will tell how it happened and what the region suffered as a result. He will also tell of the people of the region who suffered as much as the land did.
