Ecopoetic events are a series of gatherings intended to catalyze a research cluster of likeminded individuals across disciplines and educational settings to consider the possibilities of renewing our commitment to land-based ecology and environmental education through a multiple literacies lens. We hope to develop collaborations that we can build upon for future initiatives involving ecology and arts-based practices.
This event and future happenings have been supported by the Ritsumeikan Seed Fund of UBC’s Department of Language and Literacy Education.
