RCC Alumni Eunice Blavascunas and Seth Stein Propose New Public Outreach Project
Using the Midcontinent Rift as a Unifying Theme for Park Interpreters and Educators
14.11.2014
Some of you will remember the place-based workshop that took place at the Osterseen nature reserve with our MA program students in June 2014. As well as serving as an educational and collaborational opportunity for the students, RCC alumni Eunice Blavascunas and Seth Stein took inspiration from the workshop and are now proposing a project to interpret the georegion of Lake Superior using the Midcontinent Rift. The environmental humanities angle will be to look at place-based interpretations of history within deep geologic time, intersecting with current mining opportunities and threats. In advance of this project, Seth and Eunice have published an article entitled “Using the Midcontinent Rift as a Unifying Theme for Park Interpreters and Educators” in the Fall 2014 issue of “inSights,” the newsletter of the EarthScope community.
