Ecological Learning Collaboratory for Food, Healing and Spatial Justice

Conference launching a two-year experimental collaboration to explore learning, dissemination and innovation

The new Ecological Learning Collaboratory will launch in spring 2018 in Ithaca during a five-day conference/workshop to consider how to create ecological and just learning spaces that foster social innovation and equity around healthy food, medicines and the right to place. At the core of the effort is the goal of developing pedagogical approaches in the context of forging partnerships that are focused on generating ecological solutions and knowledge. The Collaboratory also seeks to build on innovative pedagogical approaches to cross-cultural learning as an intimate part of both rethinking partnerships and, even more broadly, the role of the American university in global ecological solutions and knowledge building.
