Thanks to everyone who helped make Ec3 — Ecological Economics in Ecuador — a great course!
Thanks to our guides for taking us to deep into the rain forest … getting us out there and back again safely. Thanks to all the experts we encountered during our travels, people with knowledge both formal and informal who helped us make sense of what we saw, heard, touched, smelled and tasted along the way. Thanks to our trusted driver, Edison, for getting us where we needed to go. Thanks to David for coming along with us to visit the Cofan community as well as setting things up in Quito. Thanks to my family — Jane, Jordan, Teresa, Naomi and Sierra — for helping design and execute an interactive learning experience. And thanks, indeed, to all the students who took a chance on a new off-campus May term course and brought new meaning to the term “experiential learning”.
Here are a few photos of our final days in Quito…
