# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ecomyopia on the Chesapeake: Social and Cultural Barriers to Climate-Induced Managed Retreat
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 06:45 pm
- **Event Description**: In the face of predicted sea-level rise on the Eastern Shore of Maryland due to land subsidence and glacial melt, managed retreat may preserve communities, social networks, and cultural heritage in ways that individual retreat from natural disaster cannot. On Friday, Feb. 13, at 5:30pm, join Cultural Anthropology Professors Aaron Lampman (Washington College) and David Casagrande (Lehigh University) in the Van Lennep Auditorium, or virtually, to explore their research into ecomyopia—the ignoring of environmental information to protect identity—and how deep-seated local narratives and social dynamics cause widespread denial of climate risk, ultimately preventing rational long-term solutions.

This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.
