Carolyn Finney, PhD, is a storyteller, author and cultural geographer who is deeply interested in issues related to identity, difference, creativity, and resilience. Using both academic and artistic ways of knowing, her work explores the important intersection
of race and place, challenging us to question and expand the language of mainstream environmentalism to include a multitude of Black experiences on the land. Her writing incorporates environmental history, arts and culture, and social justice to highlight
the past, present, and future of African Americans and the outdoors.</div>
