GLOBAL TO GRASSROOTS
4:30PM | Haldeman Hall 41 (Kreindler Conference Hall)
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.

POWERING THE NORTH: NORTH AMERICAN ARCTIC ENERGY FUTURES
The North American Arctic - the region spanning Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Greenland - is increasingly recognized for its distinct landscapes, strong historic and cultural connections between communities and peoples, and rising opportunities for knowledge sharing. This speaker series invests in the people, opportunities, and strength of the NAA by providing a platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and international collaboration on pressing issues facing the region.
Join us for a timely and solutions-focused conversation with leading voices in shaping innovative Arctic energy futures. This one-hour webinar will feature Dr. Jeremy Kasper (Director, Alaska Center for Energy and Power), Ms. Heather Shilton (Director, Nunavut Nukkiksautiit Corporation), and Mr. Thomas Ravnshøj Davidsen (Senior Business Developer, NunaGreen), as they share insights on the future of community-driven renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure across the circumpolar North. From hybrid systems in Alaska to Inuit-led clean energy in Nunavut and Greenlandic business innovation, this panel will explore the technological, cultural, and policy levers needed to power a just energy transition in Arctic communities. The event will be moderated by Dr. Melody Brown Burkins, Director of the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth.
Wednesday, May 14th | 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Next-Generation Geothermal Power and its Role in the Energy System Talk
Join us online with Wilson Ricks, a Postdoctoral Researcher at Princeton University
Online via Zoom — open to all
For everyone interested in energy, geothermal, and decarbonization!
Geothermal energy offers reliable, renewable power but remains limited by geologic conditions. Emerging technologies like enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) could change that, unlocking broader deployment and even enabling long-duration energy storage. Ricks will explore how energy systems modeling methods can optimize EGS design and reveal its potential role in future power grids.
New Energy: Conversations with Early-Career Energy Researchers is an online series featuring graduate, post-doctoral, and other early-career researchers sharing their discoveries and perspectives on energy-related topics
