See my recent keynote talk on “Ancient Glaciers and Melting Ice: International Perspectives on the New Polar Aesthetics”

Good news! Anne Hemkendreis wrote the first review of my new book “Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics” Duke University Press where she claims it “is truly a must-read.”

It is my contribution to an interactive living polar archive of ‘talking objects’ called The Call of Things — curated by Jessica Houston. The Call of Things draws upon convergences of multiple perspectives, where viewers can ‘call’ objects with their phones and listen to oral narratives and field recordings related to each polar artifact. The contributors range across disciplines, including ecologists, Indigenous leaders, sea ice, philosophers, poets, whales, and academics. The Call of Things situates the climate crisis in relation to social justice, questions of sovereignty, Indigenous rights, and political histories of land. It creates a platform for non-anthropocentric experiences, where stories are also told through animal songs and sounds of ice.
