“I don’t believe we will be able to solve some of the world’s biggest problems like climate change, systemic racism and institutionalized inequity without being able to look to the people on the frontline of these changes and seek their guidance.” - Michaela Stith

 

Duke alumna and 2018 Betsy Alden service-learning award winner Michaela Stith is publishing a book that addresses climate change, systemic racism, and institutionalized inequity. “Welp: Climate Change & Arctic Identities” is a travel memoir about navigating social life in Tromsø, Norway (Romssa, Sápmi) as a Black, mixed-race girl from Alaska. 

Join us in supporting the pre-launch campaign for Michaela’s new book. She was a Civic Engagement Research Assistant with Service-Learning at Duke University, as well as a graduate with distinction from the Nicholas School of the Environment Environmental Science & Policy Program.
