We Are Water | Living With Water: Learning With and From Community

Research that is conducted "with" and "by" a community, that explores the community's needs as the community itself defines them, and that develops qualitative information rather than relying solely on quantitative metrics, is a necessary part of future work that serves communities in addition to supporting critical research agendas. Panelists will include Lark Weller, National Park Service; Amit Pradhananga, Center for Changing Landscapes; and Amber Annis, Minnesota Historical Society.

We Are Water: The River at Our Doorstep

The University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus is located on the banks of the Mississippi River, one of the great rivers of the world. The river has been the subject of study, research and course instruction across a variety of disciplines, as well as an important recreational and visible asset for the University community.

But how might the University reciprocate the value it gets from its proximity to the river? What can our teaching, research, and programs offer to the river and the people and organizations that work for its future?
