Science conference will focus on networks, from nature to society
March 10, 2015
Participants will gather in the Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center to share concerns and insights about issues relevant to rural ÐÓ°Épro. The conference is a platform for reporting on and discussing regional research efforts as well as traditional knowledge, providing an interdisciplinary approach to inquiry and discussion.
The conference will explore connections between humans and the environment to begin to better understand the unique networks that exist within and around communities in rural ÐÓ°Épro. We invite those who have an interest in any aspect of life in rural ÐÓ°Épro to join in this gathering, because we value each perspective that attendees bring as an integral part of the network. We are all coming to realize that we are stronger and better able to move into the future when we cast a wider net — sharing across disciplines, generations, geographic location and cultures.
In addition to regular and paneled sessions, the conference will include a banquet on Wednesday, April 16, and workshops on traditional uses of plants, including natural dyes and soap making.
