Understanding land as pedagogy requires, as Leanne Betasamosake Simpson writes, centering “intimate relationships of reciprocity, humility, honesty, and respect with all elements of creation, including plants and animals.” Because racial capitalism is sweeping in its multidirectional violence, decolonization entails “the sharing of the liberatory politics of Indigenous peoples and people of color who have also been forced to live through oppression.” It is grounded in a deep-seated ethics of accountability and responsibility. We invite you to join past and present students, staff, faculty, and apprentices from the Center for Agroecology* and the broader campus, as we dare to imagine the possibilities of land-based education at UC Santa Cruz. We will weave together a cross-cohort and community-based account of the history and present of the UCSC Farm, as we explore the necessary foundations for land-based learning centering racial justice and decolonization at the root and heart.
