No Place to Grow follows a group of Latinx farmers who find themselves representing a movement to save the last green space centered within a neighborhood facing gentrification in Santa Cruz, Ca. Over time we find out what happens when migrated farming traditions intersect with the “urban growth machine”. Set in a small city known for its liberal ideology, a community becomes conflicted as the fate of the garden is in jeopardy.

Want to relax, unwind, and connect to nature? Forest bathing (which doesn’t actually involve “bathing”) is a Japanese form of “eco-therapy” that developed in the 1980s, which offers an antidote to tech-boom burnout and enables you to reconnect with and protect nature.  What is Forest Bathing? Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, originated in Japan in the 1980, and can be defined as making contact with and taking in the atmosphere of the forest. The goal of forest bathing is to slow down and. become immersed in nature, to take in your surroundings using all your senses. Tune into the sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and textures of the natural environment.  Benefits of Forest Bathing: Health effects include: lower concentrations of cortisol lower pulse rates lower blood pressure greater parasympathetic nerve activity greater appreciation for nature decreased stress Forest Bathing Locations: The Poe Prairie BGSU Tech Pond The Ridge Wintergarden/St. John's Nature Preserve Slippery Elm Trail Simpson Garden Park City Park For more bathing locations Questions?

To be maximally productive in academic life, we all need to produce a steady stream of publications; but how can we keep multiple writing projects moving ahead simultaneously when they are all in various states of completion? This webinar, based on Erin Marie Furtak's "Productivity Pipeline" column from the Chronicle of Higher Education, will help you to conceptualize your writing projects as a pipeline. You'll then complete a series of activities in which you’ll list your planned and active writing projects, assign them to categories in the pipeline, and then make a concrete action plan for moving forward with several of the projects at the same time. In this flipped professional development session, participants will be asked to watch the NCFDD’s webinar: Building a Publishing Pipeline: Concrete Strategies for Increasing your Writing Productivity before 12:30pm on April 22nd. On Thursday, April 22nd at 12:30 pm, BGSU registrants will convene remotely to engage in a meaningful discussion session to reflect on key takeaways from the webinar as well as workshop ideas and discuss how we will develop our own publishing piplelines. For instructions on how to activate your NCFDD BGSU sponsored membership and view the webinar, visit our CFE webpage.   Register for the Building a Publishing Pipeline Webinar Discussion.
