Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Speaker — Kip Curtis
Leader — Hayley Young
Title and Topic — Morality, Ethics, Race, and the Environment: New Thoughts on Old Topics
Bio — Kip Curtis is an associate professor of environmental history at the Ohio State University where he teaches on the Mansfield Regional Campus. He has published research on the environmental history of mining, the place of Henry David Thoreau in environmental history, and the role of ritual and bodily engagement in fostering environmental ethics. For the past half-decade, he has been developing a community engaged research project in Mansfield, Ohio that sought to build a community of practice around local food production. Through this work he helped to create the Richland Gro-Op, a cooperative of micro farm growers based in Mansfield, Ohio. Before moving to Ohio, Kip developed and launched a schoolyard gardening project in St. Petersburg, Florida called the Edible Peace Patch Project, which continues to operate eight schoolyard gardens in that city’s Title 1 elementary schools as a vehicle for reducing drop rates and enhancing science education.
