Educating for Resilience
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Mon, 07/22/2024 - 10:00 to Fri, 07/26/2024 - 15:00

Global conflicts, climate change, and unequal development challenge both societal and personal resilience by causing displacement, restricting resources, and counteracting efforts for a renewable world. Whether in urban or rural areas, people across the world grapple with creating sustainable livelihoods, ecosystems, social infrastructures, and economies. If resilience can be defined as the competence to reduce precarity during a crisis and build a more thriving society after, how can we best encourage students to learn about and become agents for global resilience?

Beijing Westerns and Indigenous Opacity in Ecoliterature of Southwest China

Presenter: 
Robin Visser
Event Status: 
As Scheduled

Thu, 11/30/2023 - 16:00

Indigenous knowledge of local ecosystems often challenges settler-colonial cosmologies that naturalize resource extraction and the relocation of nomadic, hunting, foraging, or fishing peoples. In this talk, Dr. Visser will present findings from her new book, Questioning Borders (Columbia UP, 2023), which analyzes relations among humans, animals, ecosystems, and the cosmos in ecoliterature by Han and non-Han Indigenous writers of China and Taiwan.
