Rethinking Wilderness

About
What do we really mean when we call a place wild? Has true wilderness ever existed, or have humans always shaped the landscapes around us?
What do we really mean when we call a place wild? Has true wilderness ever existed, or have humans always shaped the landscapes around us? Join acclaimed Islands of Abandonment author Cal Flyn and historical archaeologist Eloise Kane as they challenge our assumptions about nature and the stories we tell about it.
From remote deserts and towering mountains to the fields much closer to home, they explore the hidden human histories embedded in the landscapes we often think of as untouched.
Discover a fascinating new perspective on the relationship between people and place in this thought-provoking conversation.
Chaired by Julia Wheeler.
There will be a book signing after this event.
