SUMMER INSTITUTE

Each year, we design our annual Summer Institute around an ecological theme, creating a common language for engaging in deep cultural-ecological analysis, project planning, and community inquiry and action.

Summer Institute Themes have included:

• 2012: Urban Agriculture: The Story of Food, Community & Justice
• 2011: Detroit as Our Place: Ecological, Economic & Historical Stories
• 2010: Water: A Hidden History
• 2009: Interconnectedness: Racism & Ecology
• 2008: EcoJustice & Place-Based Education
