Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series

“Farms, Fish & Forests: An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine” by Kathryn Olson ‘05, MA, PhD Candidate, Boston College.

How is climate change changing our places? This talk will examine data from interviews with farmers, fishers, and foresters throughout the state of Maine on their experiences and observations of climate change. Part of the Living Change project, this work documents the profound, but often subtle changes in place—and therefore culture and livelihood—that people are observing on the ground in Maine.
