River Lab

Catalog description

This course addresses art, ecology and social engagement through cross-sector work with a team of practitioners whose work engages the health of a river, and the river’s surrounding communities. The course provides opportunities for students to work with a selected group of local river advocates who may include scientists, social scientists, organizers, educators, artists and Indigenous community leaders. Students will contribute to a specific local initiative as they learn about this river and the social, economic, environmental and historical dynamics of this river community.
