Meet our Fall 2024 Community Practitioner in Residence, Mary Dickson, an accomplished downwinder activist and writer.
Welcome to Muskan Walia, our Spring24 Community Practitioner in Residence!
Daniel Hernandez/ Arcia Tecun is the Fall 2023 Community Practitioner in Residence at the University of Utah Environmental Humanities Program. Funded by the Mellon Foundation, the residency program aims to forge reciprocal relationships with community leaders who are using the tools of humanities and culture to further transform solutions to the climate crisis and environmental racism.
Darren Parry was our Spring '23 Practitioner-in-Residence. Darren is the former chairman of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation and teaches Native American History at Utah State University. He is on numerous boards, from PBS Utah to Utah Humanities. Throughout the Spring '23 semester, Darren presented on the Bear River Massacre, moving beyond the land acknowledgement, merging western science with Indigenous wisdom, and a Shoshone approach to climate change.
