2023 Rising Voices 11
Understanding the Relationships: People, Place, Technology, the Environment, and Climate Change
We are pleased to announce the 11th Annual Rising Voices Center for Indigenous and Earth Sciences Workshop. The Workshop will be a hybrid gathering, held both virtually and in-person at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, from Wednesday, May 31 – Friday, June 2, 2023.
The dominant go-to response for climate solutions is a technological fix. What if we situate technology within the mindset of not about fixing things, but healing our relatives? What do the relationships between people, place, technology, and the environment mean for climate actions? What do these dynamics mean for issues around power, justice and data sovereignty, and around the differences and intersections of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom? We can look to past and contemporary examples to understand the future. The “work” part of the workshop is in rebuilding and rediscovering relationships: to the world, to place, to all relatives, to each other.
The application site for the workshop is now open and the deadline to apply is February 28th. Everyone must apply, whether you are applying to participate in-person or virtually. Applicants will be notified by March 20th. In-person space is limited. There is also limited travel funding available.
