The Academy’s Ted Daeschler hosts an exciting discussion with world-renowned photographer, writer, and activist Subhankar Banerjee. Banerjee’s recent book, Arctic Voices: Resistance at the Tipping Point, brings together narratives from prominent activists, writers, and researchers who address issues of climate change, resource war, and human rights. Banerjee will be joined by Cindy Shogan, executive director of the Alaska Wilderness League. 

The Arctic is a destination for Daeschler, whose studies of Devonian fossils have helped scientists learn more about the early evolution of limbed animals. His research takes him to Elsmere Island in the Canadian Arctic every other year.
