Place Based Learning Practices

Place based education principles
Project Description: 

This project is an extension of the Ethnobotanical Mapping project (See project page here) and is thus sharing funds. From Karley Rojas, 05/03/2024- "The ‘Place Based Learning Practices Project: a diptych case study of more than human relationality at the tribal and western institutional interface’ is my thesis project, within the Environment and Community graduate program which has adopted the Ethnobotanical Mapping project within its scope. The first case study, (Hi)stories of Wiyot Plaza, will involve developing guidelines for institutional engagement with traditional ecological knowledges and Indigenous science in partnership with regional tribes and tribal members, and a landscape site history of Wiyot Plaza on CPH’s campus through archival and geospatial mapping methods, which will become available through a Story Map and include a beta version of the Ethnobotanical Map. This case study will also look at access and data sovereignty protocols for these products. Such protocol will determine the tiers of access to these products, including public, institutional, and tribal levels of access. The site history will inform on a modified phase 1 environmental site assessment. This beta ethnobotanical map and access levels will inform on the futures of the map and its contents for the campus as a whole. These studies will be completed through Indigenous community-based participatory research methodologies."
