Black Faces, White Spaces with Author Carolyn Finney
The Huston-Brumbaugh Nature Center and University of Mount Union host storyteller, author, and cultural geographer Carolyn Finney, PhD for a presentation and book signing. Carolyn’s presentation will highlight the work of her first book “Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors.”
Carolyn Finney is a storyteller, author and a cultural geographer who is deeply interested in issues related to identity, difference, creativity, and resilience. The aim of her work is to develop greater cultural competency within environmental organizations and institutions, challenge media outlets on their representation of difference, and increase awareness of how privilege shapes who gets to speak to environmental issues and determine policy and action. This presentation is free and open to the public.
