Join Sterling College as we welcome virtually Running Grass
Thursday, May 6, 6:30-7:30 pm
Running Grass will present the lecture Cultures, Communities, and Ecologies: Inclusive Approaches to Multicultural Environmental Learning -- we hope you can join us.
What would environmental learning (i.e. environmental education) look like if cultural and racial perspectives and histories were included in our understanding of place, land, and ecological systems? This talk will explore new approaches to environmental learning and their implications for our sense of place, the ways we belong to the land, and the environmental discourse of the day.
In the late 1980's, Running Grass led a group of educators, cultural and community activists in creating Three Circles Center for Multicultural Environmental Education to help shift environmental education towards a broader, more authentic and inclusive, community-based approach to environmental learning. Three Circles Center introduces, encourages and cultivates multicultural perspectives and values in environmental and outdoor education, recreation and interpretation.
No RSVP required for the lecture.
