Youth Leadership & Climate Justice in the Arctic and Beyond
Official Event Link: https://dartgo.org/dickey-michaela-stith
The Institute of Arctic Studies is honored to host Michaela Stith, author of Welp: Climate Change and Arctic Identities and Youth Education Lead for Native Movement.
Michaela Stith has traveled to all 8 Arctic countries working in solidarity with Arctic Indigenous peoples’ climate change advocacy. She is the author of Welp: Climate Change and Arctic Identities, a travel memoir exploring the intersections of racism and climate change.
Her career in environmental science and policy began as a Duke University student, where she studied the impact of cruise ships in Iceland and Alaska. She became a Hart Leadership Fellow at the Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat in Tromsø, Norway, where her work supported the Council's meaningful engagement of Indigenous peoples in multilateral diplomacy. Upon returning to the U.S.A., she organized dozens of events including the first-ever Arctic Youth Summit in Washington D.C. as an employee at the Wilson Center. Born and raised in Alaska, she since returned home and joined Native Movement to build grassroots power and youth leadership in pursuit of climate justice.
In her public talk, Michaela Stith will discuss the ties between climate change, colonialism, and white supremacy, and how her experiences as a Black, mixed-race woman in Arctic spaces has informed how she approaches advocacy, activism, and organizing.
This event is co-sponsored by the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding and the Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life.
