In this episode of IDEAS, we hear from Tanya Behrisch, a PhD Candidate from the Educational Theory and Practice, Philosophy of Education Stream. Tanya is working on a project incorporating painting and being outside as research process, and talks with Kari about the more-than-human world as a mentor for inquiry. A series of Tanya's oil paintings of the more-than-human world accompany the conversation.
