Launched "Talking Stories: Encyclopedia of
Traditional Ecological Knowledge" with Dr. Michelle Scalise Sugiyama at the University of Oregon.
At the University of Oregon between July and December 2020, Dr. Michelle Scalise Sugiyama and four UO librarians under the leadership of Kate Thornhill, Digital Scholarship Librarian, collaborated to develop an open educational resource that incorporated WordPress and open pedagogy approaches aimed at showing how Indigenous peoples around the world use storytelling to transmit their traditional ecological knowledge.
This collaboration supported first-year undergraduate students participating in Dr. Scalise Sugiyama’s Origins of Storytelling course, an online seminar dedicated to developing content for the resource. Entitled Talking Stories: An Encyclopedia of Traditional Ecological Knowledge, this resource aggregates traditional narratives, explications of the ecological knowledge they encode, descriptions of their culture and habitat of origin, and links to related scholarly research. It is intended for use by educators around the world seeking to integrate traditional Indigenous literature and natural history into their courses, and by students and researchers investigating this body of knowledge.
