In episodes 1 and 2 of the IA Hubbub, we heard about projects happening in IA’s own backyard in the Yolo bioregion where UC Davis is located. In this episode, we travel further afield to IA member institutions Michigan State University (or MSU), where Jessica Stokes and Michael Stokes run the HIVES research lab which examines issues at the intersections of disability, ecology, and access, and to University of Southern California (USC) where Hannah Michael Flynn and Leslie Dinkin started the Fifty-One Miles project about the LA River with support from USC’s Arts in Action program.
Both the HIVES Research Lab and the Fifty-One Miles project are excellent examples of Imagining America’s focus on arts-oriented community-engaged scholarship that cuts across institutional hierarchies, and expands our understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence that drives our multispecies worlds.
Special thanks to Ameen Lofti for providing original music for this series. This episode was edited and produced by Anuj Vaidya.
