About the Speaker

Nancy Langston is an environmental historian and ecologist. She is the Mellon Visiting Scholar in Environmental Humanities at the Center for Environmental Futures in fall 2019, during which time she will be conducting scholarship on migratory species. She is a published author of several books, including two about the environmental history of Oregon. Where Land and Water Meet: A Western Landscape Transformed (University of Washington Press, 2003) examines land management conflicts of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Langston’s earlier book, Forest Dreams, Forest Nightmares: The Paradox of Old Growth in the Inland West (UWP, 1995), is an award-winning study on the forest health crisis on western national forests. Her current project, “New Mobilities of the Anthropocene: Climate Change, Toxics, and Animal Migrations,” is a study of woodland caribou and common loons.
