Getting here:
I grew up homeschooled in rural Maine and did not want to leave Maine or self-directed education. COA checked all my boxes (diverse and highly specific classes, kitchens, and small student body)
Classes
FA 21- Writing for Nonprofits, Human Ecology Core Course, Intimate Partner Violence: Dynamics and Community Response
WW 22- Diaspora and Unbelonging, Introduction to Art Therapy, Understanding and Managing Group Dynamics
My approach to human ecology:
(community development + reproductive justice + social work + psychology) + (folk music + fiber arts + baking + nourishing relationships) = human ecology
