I will be presenting preliminary findings from my Fulbright research at the Minnesota Department of Health’s Climate and Health Program (Room B-107) and via WebEx. See attached flyer for details.

”Our attachment to place — including the environments, traditions, and customs tied to these places — are fundamental to our identity. Climate trends show that across the Midwest and here in Minnesota, we’re experiencing an increase in warmer, wetter conditions. This trend may stress local economies, while also significantly impacting our attachment to place, wellbeing, and community resilience. Kelsey interviewed farmers, fishers, trappers, hunters, and herbalists living primarily in the Canadian Lake Superior watershed to capture how climate change is impacting the mental and emotional wellbeing of people who live close to the land. She will share key insights from this study, including observation themes, how climate change is already impacting wellbeing, and ways to move forward."
