The highly anticipated emergence of the Great Eastern Brood, Brood X of the 17-year periodical cicadas in 2021, with a large footprint in northeastern US, was the focus of widespread research and education by entomologists. What did we learn? Who and how many did we reach? What questions remain? This webinar, sponsored by the Eastern Branch, will review early findings, outreach activities, and new questions from our fellow entomologists, and provide an opportunity for discussion of a range of topics on the cicada emergence.
The ESA Traditional Ecological Knowledge Section is hosting a webinar series to facilitate a virtual space to welcome and hear from Indigenous voices who work to help sustain and nurture TEK within their communities. The speakers share tools, processes and practices they have learned through activities that work for them in their journey to utilize TEK.
In these times of uncertainty, the TEK Section recognizes the importance of sharing Indigenous knowledge with our ESA community so that valuable lessons of reclaiming Indigenous languages, culture and traditions can be shared in a way to create better understanding of TEK. It’s an opportunity for Indigenous thought leaders to share their wisdom, knowledge and experiences with the ESA community to reflect on questions arising within the western scientific community of how we build an emerging space that honors and respects both Ways of Knowing.
One excellent tool for finding webinars and seminars, conferences and other events is the Ecology Seminars website/newsletter managed by Jonathan Clegg. It includes virtual events and in-person, from hour-long presentations to week-long conferences.
