'Becoming Ecological': A Book Launch with Derek Gladwin & Kedrick James

offers a fresh perspective on the natural world by insisting that our relationship with language can transform issues of sustainability and environmental catastrophe. This book explores how language, meaning, and communication can help us in the ongoing process of "becoming ecological" in our daily lives, encouraging us to listen, relate, and act with greater awareness. The authors will be in conversation with Upstart & Crow's co-founder, Ian Gill.

This event is free, but please RSVP here to save your spot. Books will be available for sale and signing.
