As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, Jason Mark will present “Where in the Wild?”

Jason Mark is the author of “Satellites in the High Country: Searching for the Wild in the Age of Man” and the editor in chief of SIERRA, the national magazine of the Sierra Club. His writings on the environment have also appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, TheAtlantic.com, and Salon.com, among many other publications. He is a co-founder of Alemany Farm, an urban farm in San Francisco.

In the 21st century, on the verge of what some are calling the Anthropocene, is there any place that’s still really, truly wild? And, if so, how can we hold onto wildness as a touchstone for our relationship with the rest of nature? In this lecture, Jason will share some thoughts from his 2015 book, “Satellites in the High Country,” and will explore the meaning of wilderness today.

The Sustainable Futures Speaker Series is presented by the Environment & Community Graduate Program and the Schatz Energy Research Center.

The presentation will take place Thursday, October 27, at 5:30 p.m. in ArtB 102.
