Join us for the second virtual roundtable of the Inter/Desert Dialogues series on Wednesday, June 14 from 3-5 pm (AZ-MST). The four-part series brings together artists, scholars, writers, activists, land managers, and others to inspire respect for deserts and the people, animals, plants, literature, art, histories, and geologies that make them up.
Dialogue #2–Energy and Infrastructure considers deserts as sites of extraction, energy generation, infrastructure development, healing, and transformative justice. Dialogue leaders include Joni Adamson (Arizona State University), Lauren Redniss (MacArthur Fellow and Parsons School of Design), Kyoko Matsunaga (Hiroshima University), and Elizabeth Tynan (James Cook University).
In an effort to generate active engagement, participation will be limited to 25 attendees. To join us, please submit the registration formby Monday, June 5. Participants will receive confirmation, a Zoom link, and a small collection of “desert artifacts” to review before the event.
