Ways of Knowing Water

Ways of Knowing Water is an ongoing collaboration between the InstitRick Livingstonwith studentute, the College of Arts and Sciences and OSU Extension. The project draws on the arts and humanities to connect residents of central Ohio more closely to their local watersheds, and to develop innovative modes of enhancing environmental awareness.  Ways of Knowing Water aims to engage the broader OSU community in a conversation about environmental citizenship, at the university and at large: what are we doing to address global climate change and other environmental challenges? This initiative has led to an ongoing partnership with COSI around a project to tell the story of the Scioto River, as well as discussions with the Dublin Arts Council, the Friends of Alum Creek and Tributaries (FACT) and FLOW (Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed) about opportunities for extending and developing Ways of Knowing Water locally and statewide.
