Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society
New Virtual Exhibition: “Once Upon a Dune: Coastal (Hi)Stories”
The Environment & Society Portal team is excited to announce the release of a new virtual exhibition, “Once Upon a Dune: Coastal (Hi)Stories,” by Joana Gaspar de Freitas et al.
The exhibition collects a multitude of views on coastal issues and the importance of taking this diversity into account when managing for the future—because beaches are made up of sea and sand, but also of people’s expectations and choices. Explore the exhibition here.

Seventh Issue of Springs: The Rachel Carson Center Review
The RCC is delighted to announce the release of the seventh issue of Springs: The Rachel Carson Center Review.
This edition ponders on emplacement and visibility, takes us through the centuries, and echoes an urgent call to attend to nonhuman sentience.
Join us as we travel to Venice, explore farming in Thailand, and “walk a Sicilian river.”

Alongside its graduate programs, the RCC hosts various externally funded projects—all contribute to the dynamic and multidisciplinary life of the center.
