“Diversity is a critical attribute of both ecological and social systems that can be a key lever to addressing and overcoming negative resilience mechanisms that cause delays and disappointment in restoration…
To this end I will discuss varied ways in which diversity is an important factor the creation of science teams as well as an attribute of social and ecological systems.” – from UWindsor DailyNews https://www.uwindsor.ca/dailynews/2023-05-12/harnessing-diversity-science-subject-lecture
Moreover, Dr. Febria honours her journey as an Immigrant to Turtle Island, hailing originally from the islands of Luzon and Leyte, two of the 7500+ islands that make up what we now know as the Philippines. This lecture is one of many ways we celebrate the contributions of Asian culture, ways of knowing and doing in HHL, and as Dr. Febria’s lecture emphasizes for research and research environments, there is great strength in diversity.
