Ecotopian Toolmaking: Methods and Practices for Publicly Engaged Environmental Inquiry

This workshop with Bethany Wiggin brings together scholars interested in publicly engaging environmental humanities.

Generally, the Ecotopian Toolkit project calls on each of us to intentionally imagine what we and this landscape can be - and to then actively build the tools we need to become. The workshop provides a more informal setting with one of the foundational actors who played a central role in establishing environmental humanities in the US. The workshop will be followed by lunch.
