Subhankar and Peter Visit Environmental Humanities

The day has finally come for Subhankar Banarjee, photographer and activist - and Peter Matthiessen, author of "Shadow Country" to visit the Salt Lake community. The event is going to be held in the Main Library and I expect a full house. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the event begins at 7:00 p.m. This event is a wonderful opportunity to catch a glimpse of two incredible individuals who are fighting the good fight.

I have also had an opportunity to take a class with Subhankar this semester. Other than the long hours, 11:50 to 5:00 on Friday and 8:00 to 5:00 on Saturday the class has provided an opportunity to learn about the idea of land as home from a person who has been working on the ground in the Arctic for 8 years. Subhankar has a wonderful perspective and is humble and inspiring at the same time.
