Dr. Natalie Davis is an Assistant Professor of Critical Studies in Education in the Marshall Family School of Education at the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor. She is a learning scientist who studies the relationship(s) between teaching and learning, cultural ecologies, and the sociopolitical development of children from nondominant communities, with emphasis on the educational experiences and place based understandings of city-dwelling Black children. Her work considers if/how our methodological frameworks, theories and practices demonstrate kinship with youth, advancing pedagogical innovations that intervene on

the adult-centered discourses that have characterized the field. This presentation looks to explore the possibilities for environmental education for Black children living and learning in the city.
