Works-In-Progress Series: "How and Why Youth Learn to Grow Food"

With support from Director Leslie R. Herrenkohl and the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences, Jessica Bautista (Doctoral Candidate at the University of Michigan), Jill Zipperer (Doctoral Candidate at Texas State University), and Sarah E. Fogelman (Professor of Practice at Stonehill College) have been collaborating to understand models of agricultural learning for youth. Through this work, they are hoping to challenge boundaries of formal and informal science learning and envision agricultural learning as a site for critical place-based learning that can support systems thinking around complex issues like food justice and climate change.

This event will be in a hybrid format, with some speakers presenting from Zoom. Audience members may join via Zoom or in person.

Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. Space is limited, please register to help with planning.
