Environments

2021-2022

At any given time, each of us inhabits and participates in a multitude of environments (e.g., natural, built, social, familial, etc.). How do these environments shape us and, we, them? What can a study of environments bring to understandings of our lived experiences, the stories we tell, and the ways we care (or not) for one another and our planet?
