  • From Climate Despair to Climate Repair: Pedagogical Approaches to Teaching Climate

    To help raise awareness for Worldwide Climate Justice and Education Week, the CTLR welcomes you to a conversation with faculty and staff colleagues, led by Julia Berazneva (Economics) and Minna Brown (Climate Action Program). What creative steps, big and small, could we each take to insert a little climate education into our teaching this week and beyond? We will gather around the lunch table to explore this question with those who are experienced in this practice and those who are wanting to learn how.

    Please register for this event by Thursday March 28th

  • Place Attachment and the Geographies of Being

    The Middle of Somewhere: Place Attachment and the Geographies of Being
    Place attachment is a burgeoning field of scholarship that investigates place identities and their relation to mobility and migration. Professor Alexander Diener’s research project considers people’s varied capacities to make and remake place attachments, and how this shapes everyday routines, social interactions, major life choices, and identities at different scales. His talk will engage with topics such as home/homeland, mobility/immobility, biological geographies, sacred place, and moral geographies.
