SUMMARY:Course | Ecological Restoration & Environmental Justice: Earth Repair
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nCommunities around the world work on ecological restoration projects to restore health and balance to damaged ecosystems. With physical and biological aspects\, ecological restoration is also spiritual and cultural work\, addressing the wounds inflicted on people as well as land. Students learn from restoration projects that rely on complex “ways of knowing\,” where ceremony\, community\, and longstanding and attentive relationships with the natural world are fundamental. Topics explored are: approaches and examples of restoration work around the world; restoration work to build community and relationship with place; ceremony and ritual; commodification and monetization of nature; and ethical questions and dilemmas in restoration. \nGuest speakers include Jacqui Patterson\, Catherine Flowers\, and Lyla June Johnston. \nDates/Times: April 5 (1-6 p.m.) and April 6 (9 a.m.-5 p.m.)Location: RemoteInstructor: Karenna GoreRegistration Deadline: March 22\, 2024

This virtual discussion will feature Indigenous voices who will explore how international Indigenous communities are affected by the same extractionist industries\, domination mindset and land removal policies that damage the biosphere as a whole. This conversation will also dive into the sustainable development paradigm and challenge its tendency to elevate economic development and devalue biocultural heritage and Earth-honoring ways of life.  \n \n \nTaily Terena of the Terena Indigenous peoples in Brazil and Yolanda Teran of the Kichwa Nation of Ecuador will join us for this panel. Roberto Múkaro Borrero\, Guainía Taíno\, strategic advisor to CEE\, will moderate.
