HMEI Faculty Seminar: “Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean”

Christina Gerhardt, the Barron Visiting Professor in the Environmental Humanities in the High Meadows Environmental Institute and visiting associate professor of HMEI and the German Department, presented “Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean” for our second talk in the fall 2021 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.

Gerhardt discussed her book project, “Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean,” in which she combines geography and cartography, literary studies and creative non-fiction, and environmental studies and environmental humanities to examine the impacts of climate change on low-lying islands and the solutions being put forward — often by Indigenous islanders — to address them.

Jerry Zee, assistant professor of anthropology and the High Meadows Environmental Institute, led a discussion and Q&A after the main presentation.
