In 2005 \, Richard Louv sounded the alarm that children were trading too much outd oor time for indoor time on screens. His coinage—nature deficit disorder —has inspired myriad studies into the benefits of getting outside. That research reveals a so-called green dividend\, the measurable physiological and psychological improvements that accrue from natural immersion. Yet su ch peer-reviewed studies typically ignore the way natural spaces are impli cated in topographies of social power.\n\nCONTACT: maulbricht@wisc.edu\n\n URL: https://humanities.wisc.edu/event/hwb-rob-nixon/ LOCATION:Conrad A.
