SPRING 2027 M & W, 2:00-4:00 PM
FOR QUESTIONS OR PERMISSION: clarissa.ceglio@uconn.edu
Take part in creating an environmental humanities project with the UConn Humanities Institute and other campus partners that examines how trees are pivotal players in our understanding of the past, ourselves, and our futures. Our work will be grounded in such recent works as Branching Out: The Public History of Trees and When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy.
WHAT WE'LL CREATE
Research, write, and design a zine, other materials, and a website to engage our campus community in gathering and sharing the histories and personal stories that trees hold. Leave with portfolio-worthy work and experience.
