Valuing Care Work in the Movement toward Perennial Agricultures: Bethel College Speaker Series

The Land Institute’s Aubrey Streit Krug and Amy June Breesman of the Perennial Cultures Lab will be giving a talk at Bethel College on April 27th as part of the college’s one-day, interdisciplinary symposium titled “Walking the Talk: Listening Relationships in a Changing Climate.”

In this talk, the Perennial Cultures Lab team will describe the scientific and social dimensions of the growing movement toward diverse, perennial agricultures. Drawing on several practical case studies, ranging from internal learning to public research projects, they will share about ongoing efforts to better value the care work necessary to realize perennial agricultures and climate resilience. Finally, audience members will be invited to reflect on our stories and their own stories, experiences, and practices of learning to value care work.

The symposium will be held in Krehbiel Auditorium, in the Luyken Fine Arts Center on the Bethel College campus, and is free and open to the public. Click here to read more about the session “Valuing Care Work in the Movement Toward Perennial Agricultures.”
