Title: Final Report of The Sustainability Project Authors: Goddu, Teresa A.; Spires, Derrick; Luis, Gabriela Abstract: The 2011-2012 academic school year marked a series of speakers, courses, road trips, films, and conferences, which together formed the Program in American Studies Sustainability Project. Greater than the contribution of any individual event, the yearlong proceedings heightened the atmosphere of environmental awareness on Vanderbilt’s campus. Our ultimate goal for this year of programming was to create a campus-wide conversation that would embolden Vanderbilt's efforts toward sustainability while deepening our understanding of what we are working toward.

Title: Updating the Theory of Collective Action and the Commons Authors: Ostrom, Elinor Abstract: Dr. Elinor Ostrom gave this lecture on the commons and the theory of collective action on March 1, 2012, which was held in the Black Cultural Center and open to the public. Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom was the first, and to date, the only woman to win the prize in economics, which has been awarded since 1969; Ostrom won in 2009. She was known for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons, and for developing -- along with her olleagues at the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University -- the Institutional Analysis and Development framework, which enables them to analyze diversely structured markets, hierarchies, common-property regimes and local public economies using a common set of universal components. Dr. Ostrom passed away from pancreatic cancer June 12, 2012.
