The School of the Environment's 2026–27 Viewbook is here!

We use many different terms to describe what we do at the School: community engagement, place-based learning, transdisciplinary research, and so on. But however we label it, we’re motivated by the need to make stronger connections between how we think, how we feel, and how we act: the head, the heart, and the hands. In these pages, you’ll see many different ways this plays out in the work we do at the School.

🌳 Stories From the Field:
Graduate Fieldwork in Kenya: Learning Through Community, Conversation, and Connection
https://buff.ly/KoWCG08

As part of her Master of Environment and Sustainability (MES) research project Kendi Dyck traveled to Kajiado County, Kenya, to explore local experiences with the Chyulu Hills REDD+ Project, a carbon conservation initiative designed to reduce emissions while supporting environmental conservation and local livelihoods. Her research sought to understand how community members perceived the project, how they participated in it, and what questions or concerns they have about its impact on their land and daily lives.

"I want to use my privilege and education to help those who face environmental injustices. If I can make a tiny difference, even as simply as explaining what carbon is, I'm glad and feel as though my research hasn't gone to waste."
