DESCRIPTION:Join faculty leader Rebekah Sinclair to learn more about this n
 ine-credit\, two-week course in Peru. \n\nIn this experientially focused co
 urse\, OSU students will engage directly with and learn from Peruvian Indig
 enous and local communities about how they are hybridizing and adapting tra
 ditional moral-ecological knowledge with Western science/environmental valu
 es to both frame and address climate change-related problems in their more-
 than-human communities. This study abroad experience will blend philosophic
 al\, ethical\, ecological\, cultural and biological approaches\, and will i
 nclude direct interviews with experts\, site visits\, community engagement\
 , interactive media\, volunteer work\, citizen-science and more. The class 
 focuses on eco-communities in three key Peruvian biomes—the Amazonian rainf
 orest and river\, the coastal desert and marine ecosystems\, and the Andean
  alpine tundra and glacial regions. Here\, students will learn about and en
 gage local communities working with different conceptual frameworks\, agric
 ultural strategies\, conservation techniques\, biodiversity measures\, refo
 restation practices\, seed-saving techniques\, worldviews\, and climate nar
 ratives. Ultimately\, OSU students will have the unique opportunity learn a
 bout climate change in some of the world’s most biodiverse and most unjustl
 y impacted areas\, even as they learn from and support Indigenous and ecolo
 gical resiliency.
