Speaking on Feb. 12 will be Mark Fiege, retired MSU history professor and Wallace Stegner Chair. He’ll address “What Makes Montana Montana? Reconciling the Past, Present and Future of our State in a Time of Dramatic Change.”Transformations sweeping through Montana of late –demographic, economic, political and environmental—have alarmed many long-term residents.
Many feel that the changes going on under the Big Sky threaten to ruin the most cherished characteristics of the place they call home. Fiege will discuss how citizens can use their knowledge of the past to chart a way forward that helps them conserve and reinvigorate key features of the life they associate with the last best place.
Fiege recently retired as professor of history and the Wallace Stegner Chair in Western American Studies. One of his books is “The Republic of Nature: An Environmental History of the United States.” He lives in the town of Pony and is a volunteer firefighter with the Harrison Rural Fire District.
