Next week TEP will host on online workshop showcasing the Braiding Sweetgrass teaching guide and brainstorming ways to use the book in your class. Author Robin Wall Kimmerer will be visiting the UO in January as part of the Common Reading program. The teaching guide was developed by four graduate students—Samantha Queeno, Annalee Ring, Nii Mahliaire, and Keegan Livermore – and mentored by Taylor McHolm and Sarah Stoeckl. Sam, Annie, Taylor, and Sarah will be leading the workshop.
