Come out for a Seminar & Lunch Event on Wednesday!!

CUE Seminar Talk:



The Centre for Urban Environments (CUE) and the Department of Anthropology at UTM invite you to a seminar talk on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 from 12-2 PM (including lunch) at the UTM Room (formerly Faculty Club, DV3140 in Davis Building at UTM).

The guest speaker will be Dr. Megan Maurer, Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Earth Institute at Columbia University. The title of the seminar is, “Experiencing Nature and Happiness in Washington Square Park: a mixed-method study of the relationship of urban green space to well-being”.



Abstract: Around the world cities are using living systems to mitigate humans’ negative environmental impacts, adapt to climate change, and build long-term resilience. As such, the impacts of these green infrastructures on urban ecologies and human well-being have become active sites of scholarly research. In this talk, Dr. Maurer discusses the importance of understanding urban residents’ experiential relationships with plants, specifically, and urban nature more broadly, for green space and green infrastructure design.



A cultural anthropologist by training, Dr. Maurer’s research broadly concerns the relationships between people and plants in the city.
