Public EH: A practicum in place-based, community-engaged collaboration
Allison Carruth and Bethany Wiggin will co-lead a hands-on workshop on the practice—and practicalities—of public environmental humanities work. Defining "public EH” capaciously, we plan to use case studies from our own past projects as models of hyper-local, community-based climate storytelling: a series of audio and multimedia documentary stories produced by Blue Lab (led by Carruth and Barron Bixler since 2021) and the Ecotopian Toolkit and My Climate Story projects (led by Wiggin since 2019 and 2017 respectively).
