In 2016 the field school was set in the Cascadia region (Pacific Northwest). We traveled down the coast from our home of Victoria,BC through Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Mt Hood, and communities on the Oregon Coast. We met with activists, First Nations, planners and others struggling to bring socio-ecological justice to the region.

Check out stories from the trip on our blog. To get a taste of our experience, check out the student-made videos below...
