"Isolation and Wilderness: How American Wilderness Intersects with the Pandemic" - DJ Lee

Author and historian DJ Lee spent significant portions of the last 15 years in the secluded mountains of Idaho and Montana conducting the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project. The project ended in March 2020, just as the pandemic forced people around the globe to isolate, quarantine, and social distance. Covering topics such as eco-sickness, eco-arts, wilderness history and ethics, and “right relations” between humans and the natural world as examined by Indigenous scholars, Lee's presentation reflects on how wilderness as a concept and a place can help us cope with the pandemic.

This talk is part of the "Unprecedented Seasons" virtual lecture series, which examines current social issues through the lens of environmental biography and memoir.
