NSF Workshop: Saving the Planet with Indigenous Knowledge
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering: Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response Center, FSU College of Social Work, Stoops Center for the Study and Promotion of Communities, Families, & Children, and the Native American and Indigenous Studies Center present the workshop "Saving the Planet with Indigenous Knowledge" on April 12th from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm EST. This workshop is FREE. Registration required. Attendees will receive lunch and a copy of Dr. Daniel Wildcat's book Red Alert!
This workshop is a part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Coordination Network (RCN) awarded project (NSF CoPe RCN: Resilient Rural Infrastructure (RISE1940319). This RCN explores how to achieve adaptive resilience for Gulf coastal communities, which has the potential to extend to the infrastructure resilience of other rural communities, and aims to foster a new understanding of the complex interactions among the key elements of community resilience in rural coastline areas. The RCN aims to bring together researchers from different fields who otherwise would not be able to network together to form working groups.
