Join renowned fiction and non-fiction author Emily Raboteau for an environmentally-minded reading and talk in Axinn 232.

Emily Raboteau writes at the intersection of social and environmental justice, race, climate change, and parenthood. Her latest book is Lessons for Survival, recently shortlisted for the Brooklyn Book Festival Book Prize. Her last book, Searching for Zion, won an American Book Award. Since the release of the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, she has focused on writing longform essays about the climate crisis. A contributing editor at Orion Magazine and a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books, Raboteau’s writing has recently appeared and been anthologized in the New Yorker, the New York Times, New York Magazine, The Nation, the Atlantic, Best American Science Writing, and elsewhere. Her distinctions include an inaugural Climate Narratives Prize from Arizona State University, the Deadline Club Award in Feature Reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists’ New York chapter, and grants and fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Bronx Council on the Arts, the Robert B. Silvers Foundation, the Lannan Foundation, and Yaddo. She is a full professor at the City College of New York (CUNY) in Harlem, once known as “the poor man’s Harvard.” She lives with her family in the Bronx.
