Since 2020, this series has focused on topics such as environmental justice, ethnic studies, health equity, gender and sexuality, and, most recently, the environment and building resilient futures. These interdisciplinary, campus-wide conversations are intended to promote thoughtful dialogue, mindful reflection, social tolerance, awareness, respect, peace, and kindness. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/about\/events\/etw-people-communities.aspx\">The 2026 &#8211; 2027 theme is Engaging the World: People and Communities in Motion<\/a>, and aims to promote informed, sustained, and enriching dialogues through an in-depth exploration of how social, cultural, political, and environmental structures both shape and are shaped by people and communities in motion.<\/p>\n<p>In this instance, \u201cmotion\u201d will take on numerous interpretations, including physical displacement, environmental change, bodies in motion, and thoughts and ideas that spur change. As such, there are a diverse number of events scheduled for the semester, including panels, film screenings, dance performances, and visits by researchers, artists, and authors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, as a social scientist, this theme evokes mobility\u2026 I think about the process of individual-level decision making that motivates movement or stasis and the group-level factors that shape these choices,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/karen-snedker.aspx\">Dr. Karen Snedker<\/a>, Associate Dean for Student and Faculty Advancement and the chair of this year\u2019s ETW series. Her forthcoming book, <em>Roofless: Partnerships, Self-Governance, and Community in a Homeless Tent Camp<\/em> (Rutgers University Press, April 2027), addresses this theme, documenting how people experiencing homelessness create self-governing communities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17665\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17665\" style=\"width: 164px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17665\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/08\/javier-zamora-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/08\/javier-zamora-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/08\/javier-zamora-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/08\/javier-zamora.jpeg 554w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Novelist and poet Javier Zamora.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>This year\u2019s ETW keynote speaker will be novelist and poet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.javierzamora.net\/\">Javier Zamora<\/a> on Wednesday, September 30, at 7 p.m. in Musco Center for the Arts<\/b>.

Along with the series of scheduled events, there will be several Freshman Foundation Courses (FFC), which will align thematically with this year\u2019s ETW. Subject matter ranges from the intersection of environment, politics, and society to ethical matters and courses that analyze film and other artistic expressions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a wonderful schedule of diverse events for members of the university community to enjoy and learn from,\u201d Snedker concludes, \u201cI encourage everyone\u2026 to attend at least one event (hopefully more) not because they have to, but because they will be enriched by the experience of engaging in these important conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the full list of ETW: Leading the Conversation
