The next book club meeting is Wednesday Jan 17th at 9am PST / 12pm EST and we’re reading How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan (option for the docuseries and/or the book). Email Valerie Rountree to join.

As a reminder, anyone can propose a book/video/resource at any time and host a meeting. Just try to plan at least 4-6 weeks out so that folks have enough time to read/watch.

Frameworks Mingle

Workshop runs 4-5:30pm EST

Building on the successful AESS Frameworks Project workshops held as part of the 2022 and 2023 AESS Meetings, the Frameworks Mingle offers a simple way for interested Environmental Studies and Sciences instructors to reflect on the frameworks they bring to their teaching and scholarship. It proceeds with a simple form participants fill out in advance, then a share & compare time during the workshop, following which we collectively work to generalize what these frameworks reveal about our fundamental assumptions in approaching ESS instruction. Participants will leave with tools not only for their own continued professional development, but for potential incorporation into their courses.

Registration is required.

This workshop is free and open to AESS members. Not a member? You can join today.

Recommended preparation* before participating in the event:
  1. Review our AESS 2023 Meeting workshop presentation for a background: https://bit.ly/aessframeworks23
  2. Fill out the form (here), and email to Jim Proctor in advance or bring a completed copy to share during the workshop

Registered participants will be sent an email with zoom connection information.

*these links will also be emailed after registration
