The Reindeer at the End of the World: Apocalypse, Climate, and Soviet Dreams, Oct 3

MAINE ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS • October 3, 2023

Told as a refutation of the idea that climate change is so apocalyptic all is hopeless, this talk by Bathsheba Demuth looks to the history of Indigenous Chukchi people amid the rise and fall of the Soviet Union in the Arctic to look for lessons in how societies survive massive transitions—and the role of local knowledge, interspecies relationships, and community in doing so. At Bowdoin College, Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium, Brunswick, October 3, 7:30 pm.
