Campus-community partnerships are well positioned to play a role in advancing social and environmental justice in the context of our rapidly changing and increasingly inequitable world. Across the Global North, post-secondary institutions in partnership with civil society organizations and communities are engaging in efforts to establish living labs by integrating research, teaching, and community engagement to advance regenerative social-ecological systems. Living labs aim to co-create innovative solutions to complex challenges through interdisciplinary, placed-based experiential learning and community-engaged action in the built and natural environments. In this presentation, we reflect on our collective experiences working with the Lake Superior Living Labs Network (LSLLN), a nested network of living labs collaborating across the Lake Superior watershed. The LSLLN was established in 2018 as a platform to connect academics and community groups in Canada, the United States and across multiple Indigenous territories, with the goal of developing and expanding partnerships and place-based collaborative initiatives grounded in the Lake Superior watershed as a social-ecological system. Drawing on these insights, we share highlights from our collective work in each of the regions, watershed scale projects that we have developed through our collaborations, and their potential to establish connections and increase the impact of place-based activities focused on social and environmental justice and sustainability.
