Class of 2016 | DS website

Hi there! Bonjour! Asalamm malikum! I am Lauren Scott, a senior Environmental Studies and French Studies double major at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I am a Vermont native, but I like to fly far from the nest. I’ve spent time abroad in Paris, France during my gap year, relocated to Portland for college, and I studied abroad in Dakar, Senegal in the spring and summer of 2015. I am interested in language, discourse, place/space and environmental theory.

No, We Are Not Environmental Science Majors, But We Do Study Science | May 2, 2016

As many environmental studies students come to know as they go through the program, the “s” of our acronym is often mistaken to mean “sciences.” No, we are not environmental science majors and minors–however, we do study sciences. It’s one of the many different perspectives incorporated into the interdisciplinary approach characteristic of the Lewis & Cl …

1, 2, >2: The Importance of Counting Beyond Two | April 6, 2016

Last night I was looking through the different nominated content for the ENVX page (don’t forget that you can nominate your own Digital Scholarship content to be featured by following the instructions on this page) and I had the pleasure of reading content by students in this semester’s course ENVS 350 – Environmental Theory, a breadth course offered every o …

Unpacking Big Words in Environmental Theory | March 14, 2016

Environmental studies students at Lewis & Clark do a lot of explaining of ourselves and our work as participants in a nontraditional interdisciplinary program, one which I must often reiterate is not environmental science (although we do take breadth courses in the natural sciences). Defining, elaborating, complicating are all activities which we are tra …

Situating Environment, Imagining Worlds: ENVS Honors Theses 2017

We are proud of all nineteen graduating ENVS seniors this year: they were a great bunch of students to work with over the last four years, and grew tremendously during this time. We’d like to honor four graduating seniors in particular—Lex Shapiro, Jesse Simpson, Hannah Smay, and Drew Williamson—who successfully completed all requirements for honors […]

Environmental Engagement: Bridging Thought and Action

There’s a new course in the ENVS major effective spring 2017: it’s called Environmental Engagement (ENVS 295)—read the About page on our new site, ds.lclark.edu/envs295/, for an overview. When I reflected at the start of spring semester on what environmental engagement means, I looked at the etymology of engagement to suggest three key features: Here is one rather […]

Art, Technology, and Hope in the Anthropocene

ENVS Program seniors take two semesters to complete a capstone project. The options for what students can study are limitless, as are their outcomes: some produce a thesis (see here for spring 2017 honors theses), while others produce alternative outcomes. As two examples of the latter, Marielle Bossio and Kara Scherer audaciously push the boundaries […]

Digital Scholarship Websites: A Scholarly Journal

Designing and creating a scholarly website is a skill that environmental studies majors are taught during their second semester in the program. It can be tedious and difficult to constantly work on and baby the site to meet professional expectations. Three ENVS class of 2017 seniors, Marielle Bossio, Perri Pond, and Kara Sherer, have gone the […]

Grass and Concrete: Built Environments Overseas

Does the phrase “built environment” strike you as odd? When thinking about the word “environment,” does your brain conjure up images of sweeping meadows and lush green forests? Consider this: Cities provide a habitat, of sorts, for billions of people worldwide. Many different species live in and interact with human-built spaces, just as many different […]

The Best of Times and the Worst of Times: Struggling to Complicate Environmentalism

This past Monday, I began my internship at Environment Oregon, Oregon’s largest environmental non-profit. I imagine this sentence will set off many red flags for anyone involved in the ENVS Program at Lewis and Clark; after all, the name practically oozes classical environmentalism and oversimplification. I actually am very excited about my internship despite this. Admittedly, this is mostly because […]
