CSU Live Webcast: Cultivating Local and Indigenous Knowledge

Thursday, October 20, 2022 

10:00am - 11:30am

The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs Foundation is pleased to host this live webcast presented by California State University, Northridge and facilitated by faculty collaborators Lisa Chaudhari and Natale Zappia.

ABOUT: The goal of the Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) initiative is to build a critical mass of diverse stakeholders across the CSU who are invested in resilience in our communities, and who will co-develop opportunities to support existing and new projects in and around CSU campuses. The objective of this event is to bring together people across the CSUs, identify what we are already doing (we will share a few examples), and explore how we contribute to or support local ecological knowledge initiatives. We invite you to join the conversation, network, brainstorm, and help us build this initiative.

SPEAKERS:

• Xóchitl Flores-Marcial - Zapotec Indigenous knowledge

• Matt Teutimez and Steve Appleton - Kizh LEK and the L.A. River

• Terry McGlynn - CSU Desert Studies Center
