Nantucket Book Festival: Trish O’Kane with Kitty Pochman

Trish O’Kane is the author of the recently published Birding to Change the World: A Memoir and an inspiring tale of climate activism where birds were the catalyst for the author to organize in defense of the places she loves. Trish currently serves as Senior Lecturer of Environmental Justice at the University of Vermont. Prior to her position at UVM, Trish worked as a human rights journalist in Central America and the Deep South and as a teacher in Alabama’s Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women. Trish will be in conversation with Kitty Pochman, Executive Director of the Linda Loring Foundation to discuss her incredible journey teaching ornithology, college students, and middle schoolers, and her lifelong learning and activism beyond the classroom.
