Oklahoma Voices: The Importance of Place (Nov 13, 2011)

Native American Awareness month continues on KGOU with this episode of Oklahoma Voices, “Place is Where We Learn from Earth and Sky.” Steven Semken, Ph.D., discusses his research that focuses on ways that scientific inquiry and teaching of earth system sciences interact with indigenous and local knowledge, sense of place, and the affective domain.

Dr. Semken spoke April 21, 2011 as part of the Native Science Speaker Series, sponsored by the University of Oklahoma the Diversity in Geosciences Project and the American Indian Cultural Center & Museum. The series is a component of the 2011 Spring Dream Course: Native Science and Earth Systems of North America.
