Ripple Effects Projects

2025 Summer Writing Institute participants were invited to create their own Ripple Effects Place Projects by identifying an aspect of water (in)justice that was significant to their communities to become the focus of an inquiry. These projects all include the three key elements of a Ripple Effects project: photography, writing, and publication or circulation. We offer glimpses into these projects here as inspirational launching points for educators to imagine ways of engaging with inquiries about water in their own schools and communities.
