Brabec to Discuss Gullah Land Use in Faculty Colloquium

On March 4, Elizabeth Brabec will discuss her recent work in a talk titled “Commonage in Private Holdings: Land Use and Land Ownership in the Gullah Communities of South Carolina.”

Brabec is a professor of landscape architecture and regional planning. Her research focuses on land conservation and the design and planning of sustainable open space, complemented with a strong interest in culture and the historical basis of landscape form.

This lecture is part of CPPA’s spring 2013 Faculty Colloquium series, which consists of informal talks, often about works-in-progress, with presenters providing a significant amount of time for audience discussion and feedback. All talks will be in Thompson 620, from noon to 1 p.m. They are open to the public and brown bag lunches are welcome.
