About, With, Through, Within: The Evolution of Soil Communication in Transdisciplinary Context

Join Dr. Katherine Lawless for a talk that traces the evolution of ‘soil communication’ through four overlapping yet analytically distinct frameworks – About, With, Through, Within – to map the increasingly intricate role of soil in social-ecological knowledge systems.  Tracing this complex evolution underscores the conceptual move from soil-as-a-static-substrate toward recognizing it as a dynamic, communicative entity integral to transdisciplinary inquiry, policy, and adaptive management strategies in an era of climatic and ecological volatility.
