NSF-IRES Study Abroad in South Africa AbstractA cross-disciplinary team visited the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, and the communities that have grown around the economic activity arising from Cr and PGE mining. Partnerships between students with different educational pathways explored and documented geology’s impact on the human and physical environment. Through peer-to-peer mentoring, the experiences of the students living and working in the field were captured and used to produce picture-stories, short videos, and longer documentary-like films; some materials were translated to social-media posts. The production materials were disseminated and monitored for viewer feedback, particularly in non-STEM oriented Gen Z audiences
The Website for the GSA!
We came together to make a website we can use as a platform to tell our stories to those at the Geological Society of America. It is in the very early development stages but we hope to make much more progress.
