Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. 

Time & Location:

Short Description:

Ecosystem Restoration Storytelling Slam: Transdisciplinarity in Performance

This session brings together researchers from different disciplines to share stories related to ecological restoration and hands-on environmental practice. Instead of theorizing inter- and transdisciplinarity, we practice it. In a live “Restoration Storytelling Slam,” speakers tell short engaging stories drawn from their work experience. These stories reveal the relational and experiential dimension of restoration, research and practice, which standard academic presentations often flatten. 

Speakers: Tracy Hruska, Luisa Lollio, Angelika Kiebler, Partick Nichols, Galina Kallio, Minna Santaoja, Teemu Lehmusruusu. 

A list of story titles and abstracts is available at this link.

Everybody is welcome! No registration needed.

Warmly,

Monica
