Terrestrial Research on Ecosystems & World-wide Education & Broadcast || An Innovative Graduate Training Program
Mascha Gugganig is a PhD Student in the Department of Anthropology at UBC. She is a TerreWEB Associate and was the recipient of a TerreWEB Travel Fund to present her preliminary research findings at three conferences in Europe.
Mascha’s research explores filmmaking and photography as tools of knowledge transmission, especially for children and youth. On this trip, she presented one part of her research findings on Native Hawaiians’ reaction to the patenting and genetic engineering of taro in recent years. To read more about Mascha’s research and her experience in Europe, check out the article below.

Thesis Topic: My research looks at environment-based learning and activism in spheres between culturally-embedded education at a Hawaiian-focused charter school and a wider public on Kaua’i that is concerned with land use, the local and global food industry, and genetically engineered crops.
