<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Update 1: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dr. Tru Leverette Hall and Dr. Maureen McCluskey presented their interactive workshop entitled “Motivation: Renewing Our Energy for Action” at the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment‘s Green
Fire Conference on Friday, May 17. This workshop outlines their collaborative project<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Water Stories<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>and uses the project as a platform to explore motivation—which
the presenters define as embodied, emotional, and spiritual energies—as a source for action in academic and public settings.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Update 2:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dr Kailan Sindelar's VR 360 Capture for<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Water Stories</i>, in partnership with Jimmy Orth of St John's Riverkeeper and Kristopher Smith of LISC Jacksonville. VR and
its affordances of immersion and interactivity have been shown to help some users better understand environmental concerns (Fauville et al., 2020; Steffen et al., 2019). However, planning, capturing, developing, and sharing VR experiences is still a nascent
process—especially in the humanities where rhetorical considerations may guide the process. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
