A National Collaborative for Research on Food, Energy, and Water Education
Presenters: Hannah Scherer - Virginia Tech
Hui-Hui Wang - Purdue University
Date and Time: Tuesday, June 22, 2021, 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM EDT
Land Grant institutions must take a leading role in preparing all global citizens for the food, energy, and water (FEW) challenges of today and tomorrow. The Food-Energy-Water-Nexus concept has emerged as a unique opportunity to pursue a sustained, systemic, and interdisciplinary education and outreach initiative, including program evaluation and education research, focused on FEW issues. This effort spans a wide array of contexts, including K-12 and post-secondary classrooms, informal and non-formal learning environments, and in public spaces. In this session, speakers will present the National Collaborative for Research on Food, Energy, and Water Education (NC-FEW; http://ncfew.org), a new transdisciplinary community of educators and education researchers engaged in FEW-Nexus-focused educational programming and research/evaluation. |
