Associate Professor Julie Johnson teaches in the BLA and MLA Programs,
focusing on the design, use and participatory design processes of civic
landscapes, including children's outdoor learning environments, urban parks,
and neighborhoods. She views childhood experiences as key to fostering
a more ecologically literate society and more sustainable future. Her research
and teaching explore how design processes can engage children in the shaping
and stewarding of innovative and enriching places. Similarly, she is interested
in how the design of neighborhoods and urban open space can support community
life and ecological processes, where transit and mixed uses enable greater
choice and walkability. She has traveled around the world and lived in
different parts of the US, but loves calling Seattle (and Gould Hall) home.
