John Hope ACT: Agriculture, Community and Theater
Faculty Sponsor: Kathryn DeMaster
Focusing on the interface of localized food production and arts advocacy in Providence Rhode Island, Lillian examined the influence of a theater/performance-based program on a nutrition and community garden curriculum at the John Hope Settlement House. The results offered new perspectives on culturally responsive teaching, youth storytelling, and environmental health education.
