CEES Seminar

[Natalie Campbell]

The CEES Seminar Series presents:

*Dr.* *Kevyn Juneau (’05), *Associate Professor of Environmental
Conservation and Ecological Restoration, University of Wisconsin River Falls


*A Tropical Restoration Experience: an example of the disruptive learning
narrative*


The "disruptive learning narrative" refers to a framework used in
education, particularly in international service-learning, to analyze how
experiences challenge students' understanding of race, power, and
privilege. Every Year I take students enrolled in my study abroad course to
Andros Island in the Bahamas to help the Bahamas Forest Unit and National
Trust with restoration of their ecological systems. This service-learning
course is a transformative experience where students disidentify,
dislocate, and displace—the three facets of the DLN—during the two-week
stay during which they develop a global perspective they may not have had
prior to the course. In this talk, I will describe my adventures taking
students on this course and discuss how study abroad opportunities are
important, transformational experiences that should be considered as part
of any academic program.


*Friday September 19**  3:30**pm. *
*Hudson 106*
*Reception prior to the talk at 3:00*
