Ellen Burke is Assistant Professor of Sustainability in the Built Environment at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and a landscape architect whose practice and research focuses on resilience and regeneration in urban contexts, including food systems, urban ecology, landscape performance technologies, and community-based environmental justice projects. Trained as a landscape architect and as an artist, she has an interest in exploring non-normative modes of practice, and believes landscape architecture is a medium for re-establishing connections between people and the land. She holds a Masters of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies from Vassar College. Ellen currently maintains her own design practice, Grow City Studio. Her research investigations have been funded by ArtPlace America and the Landscape Architecture Foundation.
