JOFEE Archives: Elizabeth Andre JNG 2018 Keynote

Hazon: The Jewish Lab for Sustainability

This special edition episode presents the Keynote from JOFEE Network Gathering 2018.

In her address, Dr. Elizabeth Andre talks about diversity in the outdoor education field, and shares findings from her work. Her teachings about privilege and diversity inform how we are hoping to expand our JOFEE work to be genuinely inclusive. We are so grateful for her support of JOFEE, and hope to build on the themes in her presentation this year at JOFEE Network Gathering. We hope you enjoy listening to Dr. Elizabeth Andre speaking at last year’s JNG.

Dr. Andre is a professor of Nature and Culture at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin. Northland College has a specific focus on progressive environmentalism and sustainability, and Dr. Andre teaches courses such as Winter Travel & Living skills and Interpretation of the Apostle Lands.

JOFFICE SPACE is the new podcast series from Hazon, exploring the interdependent ecosystem of people and organizations shaping the world of Jewish Outdoor, food, farming & Environmental education (AKA JOFEE) today.

About Hazon: Hazon is the Jewish Lab for Sustainability. The Hebrew word “hazon” means “vision”. Our vision is of a vibrant, healthy Jewish community, in which to be Jewish is necessarily to help create a more sustainable world for all.

JOFFICE SPACE is co-hosted and produced by Yoshi silverstein, Director of the JOFEE Fellowship, and Hannah Henza, JOFEE Program Manager. Season one is edited by our summer JOFEE programs intern, Leora Nevins, and distributed by the Hazon marketing & Communications team.

JOFEE programs are made possible by a growing web of staff, participants, volunteers, lay-leaders, donors, organizations, institutions, and foundations. In particular, our national JOFEE work at Hazon is made possible by funding from the Jim Joseph Foundation.
