Dr. Thomas Love, taught anthropology and related courses in environmental studies and Latin American studies at Linfield from 1983-2019. He continues occasional teaching and active research in the anthropology of post-carbon transition. When he visits the Heritage Center on August 3rd, 2022 he will take us on a wild ride through etymology, geography, ecology and ethnography on the search for this answer. But he wont stop there. He also investigates people, places, names and much more in this intensive search to answer such a simple question.
