Environmental Imaginaries Group Launch

About This Event

How do  "environmental imaginaries" come alive in your teaching, creative practices, and scholarship? A new working group with the NY Humanities Corridor will focus on how speculative world-building operates across the eco-humanities, arts, and environmental design fields. This event aims to expand participants’ curiosity and understanding of how “speculative world-building” and environmental imaginaries relate to a range of disciplinary and creative endeavors, including teaching. Activities and presentations aimed at building community and inspiring active learning.
