Afghan Poppies, Climate Change and War: Thinking Systemically About Us and Them part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
Karen Litfin, University of Washington-Seattle Campus

The exercise challenges students to consider these linkages not only conceptually but also somatically and emotionally.
