Posit Newsletter #02

Happy new year, and welcome to the second issue of Posit. Over the last year, a major theme of my research has been bioregionalism. Put simply, that's the idea that our concepts of place, the way we organize our economies, our societies, and our identities, should start in the places where we live—the watersheds, landscapes, biodiversity, culture, and other “physical and social geographies” that entwine us with land and all life upon them. It’s a beautiful idea and philosophy, one deeply rooted in Indigenous ways of being and knowing, It’s also one that has developed into an increasingly robust movement, and which is beginning to develop tools and organizational structures to put bioregional concepts into practice.
