Description
The human body is an ecosystem but is rarely thought of as such. Meanwhile, students are taught about the ecological world but may have no personal experience with the natural environment.
This project will create a zine for K-12 students that demonstrates how the ecological and human worlds each have functions that mirror each other.
A working group (in collaboration with Eduardo de la Cruz Cruz, current director of the Zacatecas Institute for Teaching and Research in Ethnology) that explores the relationship between history, languages, and the environment through Nahuatl revitalization in Mexico.
Awardees will develop didactic materials about local biodiversity in Nahuatl that consider both Western and Nahua forms of knowledge.
Guest speakers and Nahua scholars from Huasteca Veracruzana, Mexico, will provide guidance and training.
