The Elmira College Phi Beta Kappa Chapter will host Laura Ogden, an Environmental Anthropologist at Dartmouth College, to speak at 4:30 p.m., Thursday, September 25, in the Kolker Lecture Hall. The event, which is free and open to the public, is an opportunity for students, faculty, and community members to learn about the ways colleges and universities can ensure students are equipped with the tools and sense of purpose to become resilient and adaptable citizens as well as climate leaders.
“We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to host Laura Ogden’s visit through the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program, a program enjoyed by only 293 colleges and universities in the United States,” said Dr. Charlie Mitchell, EC Professor of American Studies. “This lecture is a valuable contribution to our Environmental Science and Sustainability programs, and is closely aligned with the work of our Sustainability Scholars. The generous support of Elmira College Phi Beta Kappa members makes this program possible.”
In addition to the public lecture, Ogden will visit several classes and meet with students and faculty to discuss the range of her research interests.
Ogden serves as the Special Advisor to the Dartmouth Provost on Climate and Sustainability. Her speech, entitled “Cultivating Climate Citizens: An Interdisciplinary Approach,” will draw on her long-term fieldwork in the Florida Everglades and in the Fuegian Archipelago of South America. Her research has explored the politics of environmental change, conservation, and extinction.
An author, her titles include Swamplife: People, Gators, and Mangroves Entangled in the Everglades and Loss and Wonder at the World’s End. As a writer, she blurs the boundaries of ethnography, memoir, and creative nonfiction, and in 2024, she was awarded a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
