Episode 12: Grassroots Community-Building with Art and Science
Description
In this episode of Common Ground: A Prairie Podcast, we talk with Dr. Alison Wallace, a biologist and ecologist from Minnesota State University, Moorhead, and a researcher who worked on the climate science team during the Biden Administration. We also talk with acclaimed artist Corinne Teed, a professor at Temple University who teamed up with Dr. Wallace and their students titled "Fragile Preservation: A Tallgrass Community," which is a permanent art installation at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo.
Listen to the episode to hear how collaborations between science and art can drive policy and grow community across the prairie.
Thank you to Crista Fiala for producing the episode and Matthew Connolly for the theme music.
