Episode 133: Yolonda Youngs - Framing Nature

Yolonda Youngs is an Associate Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at CSU San Bernardino and a dedicated scholar, teacher, researcher, and leader. Her expertise lies within national parks and protected areas, environmental policy, conservation of natural resources, and cultural landscapes. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Yolonda traces the idea of the Grand Canyon as an icon and the ways people came to know it through popular imagery and visual media. She reminds us of the shifting interplay between humans and their environments and how visual representations shape popular ideas and meanings about national parks and the American West.
