Bethany Wiggin, the 2024-2025 Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Visiting Professor in the Environment and the Humanities, will present “Toward a Civic Science: Reflections on a Decade of Publicly Engaged Experiments in the Transdisciplinary Environmental Humanities” in Guyot Hall, Room 10, and online via Zoom. Wiggin is the first speaker in the spring 2025 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series. How might higher education bring a “civic science” of the environment into being? How might we experiment in transdisciplinary environmental research, teaching and learning to do so? Drawing on a decade of publicly engaged and community informed experiments in place-based learning and climate education, this talk considers lessons learned in the creation of collaborative learning communities capable of transformational learning and research outcomes. This seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Guyot Atrium at noon. All attendees can register here in advance to attend this event via Zoom livestream.
