A Place For Knowledge Exchange: Working Towards a Community-first Approach to Climate Resilience
Nov 15, 2024 at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm AKST
The facilitators of the seminar series A Place for Knowledge Exchange invite you to a collaboration brunch hosted by the International Arctic Research Center and College of Indigenous Studies. From 11-12, Chris Maio, Casey Ferguson and Angela Johnson with the Alaska Coastal Cooperative will give a presentation about working towards a community-first approach to climate resilience. Join us in-person for the snacks and conversation, or see our presenters virtually via Zoom from 11-12pm.
IARC and CIS hold the brunches quarterly to build stronger ties between the two organizations and support collaborative approaches in research, education and real-life community-based practices in rural Alaska. In addition to the brunches, the two hold monthly seminars on these topics.
The brunch and presentation are in-person in the BP Design Theater (401 Engineering Building) from 10-12am. The presentation is also available through Zoom from 11am-12pm.
