In this interactive, research and experience-based presentation, Prof. Ruffin will explore the ways in which she teaches and invites students and the general public to know what she describes as an "anti-racist nature." She'll engage Environmental Humanities and experimental learning scholarship through examples from her teaching and guiding work.
Participants will be invited to design their own experimental learning activity and contribute to a discussion about how nature education can be made more inclusive, historically accurate, and meaningful for individuals.
