Con flu encephalitis (noun)
: a coming or flowing together, meeting, or gathering at one point
We were joined by rural storytellers/authors Jerry Apps and Natasha Kassulke, who will share ideas on critical and creative thinking related to the environmental challenges we face. Apps and Kassulke will guide us through reflection, allowing for a confluence of ideas with other Convention participants while developing ways to share the information you receive with your friends and neighbors.
Natasha Kassulke is a former journalist for the Wisconsin State Journal and former editor of Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine. Today, she directs communications for the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education at UW-Madison and teaches journalism courses part-time at Madison College. She and her husband, Steve Apps (Jerry's son), live in Madison, Wisconsin.
Jerry Apps is a former county extension agent and is now professor emeritus at UW-Madison, where he taught for 30 years. Today he works as a rural historian and full-time writer and is the author of many books on rural history, country life, and the environment. He has created six-hour-long documentaries with PBS Wisconsin, has won several awards for his writing, and won a regional Emmy Award for the TV program A Farm Winter. Jerry and his wife, Ruth, have three children, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. They divide their time between their home in Madison and their farm, Roshara, in Waushara County."
