Join us for the Understory, an in-person book club discussing ecology, environmental justice, historical fallacy and humanity. 

For the month of February, we are reading:

AS LONG AS GRASS GROWS: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock 

Author:Dina Gilio-Whitaker

If you'd like to participate, please have read the above selection by the meeting date so that you can show up authentically and contribute to the conversation meaningfully. We will have open discussion, with leading questions if necessary, to help digest and possibly apply what was presented in the selection. 

Bark's The Understory book club is on a mission to maintain a robust and active study group as a strategy to deepen Bark's engagement with environmental literature beyond the typical canon of white, western, male, and scientific writing. The Understory strives to develop cultural humility and promote radical environmental justice in our organization and community and by focusing on readings that support our collective and individual practices of decolonization, anti-oppression, and cultural transformation. 

The Understory meets in the Bark office on the last Monday of the month and will follow Bark’s COVID fieldwork protocol.
