Event Description

Get some fresh air and sample experiential pedagogy ranging from quick activities to sustained partnerships! During this workshop, you’ll walk about 0.25 miles between three stations and hear from instructors who’ve organized outdoors learning activities on native plants and environmental justice, photographic perspectives to WashU’s campus, and ethnographically documenting St Louis. You’ll also workshop ideas for how you might incorporate “fieldtrips” to your classes, whether it’s for ten minutes or a full class assignment.

If you have questions about this Teaching with Joy session, or if you have mobility concerns, please reach out to Elina Salminen for information about the route and options for participation.
