Beyond the Lab
Our collaborations explore the friction between diverse ways of knowing environments: we aim to bring them into productive relationships beyond our university’s campus to nurture inclusive environmental futures.
In Summer 2020, PPEH Public Research Interns explored the friction between diverse ways of knowing environments. They aimed to bring them into productive relationships beyond our university’s campus to nurture inclusive environmental futures. With partners in Philadelphia and beyond, students developed participatory, arts-driven and evidence-based public initiatives that invite Climate Stories documenting experiences of global climate change in local environments from the Schuylkill and beyond, and they are continuing to support Futures Beyond Refining in south Philadelphia with remotely-available public history tours and exhibits about life with an old refinery and with the establishment of a pilot community-based air quality monitoring network.
