On November 8, I participated in a live streamed discussion about Regenerating Life with Didi Pershouse, Adriana Cepeda, and Darren Rabinowitz, as part of the Cinematic Spaces of Education Festivalette sponsored by the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES).

It was a lively conversation focusing on the importance of education in our changing society’s relationship to nature. Adriana is Co-Director/Co-Curator of the festival. Darren is a professor at Columbia’s Teachers College, and Chair of the Environmental and Sustainability Education Special Interest Group of CIES. Didi is an educator and soil sponge strategist. She founded the Land and Leadership Initiative and is author of The Ecology of Care. Didi is one of the lead interviewees in Regenerating Life. She was one of my first teachers in my journey learning about an ecological approach to understanding climate change.

Regenerating Life was part of CIES’s Cinematic Spaces of Education Festivalette. The film was streamed online from October 1 through November 15 for CIES members worldwide.
