About the Event
From February 11-13, 2022 an international research symposium will be held at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly Conference Center in Black Mountain, NC, USA (https://blueridgeassembly.org/)
This year's symposium will also feature a Keynote Address by Dr. Corliss Outley titled
“Stand Up!: Race, Freedom Calls and Outdoor Education”: Everyone deserves the opportunity to experience quality environmental and outdoor learning. Yet, for many the right to live, work, learn and play in the outdoors has been limited. The inclusion of all cannot be the work of one person or even one organization–individuals must work together to intentionally change policies, pedagogy, curriculum, culture, and systems.
Dr. Outley is a Professor at Clemson University in the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management and currently serves as the Founder and Director of the Race, Ethnicity, Youth and Social Equity (REYSE) Collaboratory.
