Major Insight

Abby Culpepper wants us to connect with places we’re from and spaces we occupy, right here and right now. As a French and linguistics major, she uses language and literature to explore our relationship with local communities and with the wider natural world. On this episode, Abby speaks about her work with eco-poetics, why it’s so important to appreciate the distinctness and richness of our own unique localities, and more.
