Wednesday, October 19, 2022 Online Event 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Register Here In the US, environmental education is not a formal part of the K-12 curriculum. Rather, in every city, there is an ecosystem of nonprofits, museums and science centers that provide the crucial in-school, after-school, and summer school programs engaging the "screen generation" in the fundamental ideas of ecological literacy. In 2018, Bard's Graduate Programs in Sustainability launched a new master's program for aspiring leaders in this critical work, centering a focus on expanding environmental education access to historically marginalized populations. Cultivating an intersectional analysis of ecology, equity, and justice, the Bard MEd program seeks to push the boundaries of inclusiveness in the environmental education field. Join Bard Professors Scott Kellogg and Caroline Ramaley, as well as Kadijah Spence MEd ’21 and Ben Harris MEd ’24 to discuss the lessons learned from this new experiment in graduate education. |

Saturday, April 30, 2022 The fourth workshop in this season-long Organic Gardening for Beginners series dives into basic garden bed preparation to boost soil fertility, while maintaining its integrity, thus creating a suitable environment to get your plants off to a great start. We then introduce alternative garden bed strategies and ask participants to consider which style(s) are right for them. Are you a renter with a small back deck? Maybe container gardens are your perfect match. Do you have a yard with rocky soil? Raised beds might be your best bet. We will discuss different planting practices to help you meet your goals, whether you want an intensive planting style that maximizes yield, or row-by-row for easy weed management. We also talk about the practice of “companion planting” to benefit the many lives in a garden. This workshop is free and open to all. Please register before Thursday, April 28th, if you need childcare, Spanish interpretation, or (for Bard students) transportation from campus. --- El cuarto taller de este serie de Jardinería Orgánica Para Principiantes arranca con preparación básica de tus camas de cultivo para agregar nutrientes al suelo, mientras mantiene su integridad, y así crear un ambiente adecuado para dar a sus plantas un buen inicio. Luego introducimos estrategias alternativas para sembrar y preguntamos a los participantes cual(es) estilo(s) es más apto para su situación. ¿Rentas un departamento con una terraza chiquita? Tal vez te late sembrar en contenedores. ¿Tienes un traspatio con suelo muy rocoso? Camas levantadas pueden ser la mejor opción. Discutiremos diferentes métodos de siembra para ayudarte a alcanzar tu metas, tanto como un estilo intensivo para maximizar su cosecha, o en filas para manejar malezas más fácilmente. Además tocaremos el tema del "compañerismo de plantas" en el jardín para aprovechar sus beneficios. Este taller es gratuito y abierto a todo público. Favor de registrar antes del jueves, 28 de abril, si requieres guardería para niños, traducción al español, o si eres estudiantes de Bard que quiere transportación desde el campus. |

Esme Murdock, Ph.D.
Campus Center, Weis Cinema 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 Esme Murdock, Ph.D. will be delivering a presentation titled Keeping Ourselves: The Role of Land and Corporeality in Environmental Justice. This presentation examines decolonial strategies for storying Environmental Justice education with the messiness of multiple, and many times incommensurable, environmental heritages and identities. Particularly, this presentation explores what the complicating of too-neat narratives of Environmental Justice (EJ) does to open up space in EJ for more complete tellings centering corporeality and relations to land. This presentation relies on on-going concerns within EJ literature about the convergence of EJ narratives into a singular story that often over-determines communities facing environmental injustice as powerless or always already associated with the environment in one-dimensional, largely negative ways. |
