What do ecology, storytelling, creativity, and social justice have in common? You’ll have to ask Carissa.

Carissa is an applied ecologist and educator who works at the intersection of landscapes, natural and human disturbances, and social justice. As the Area Head of MICA’s Ecosystems, Sustainability, and Justice program, she brings together her background in both the humanities and sciences to explore how we understand—and tell stories about—the world around us.

Hope to see you!
