Alan Graham Memorial Lecture: Wildness and Indigenous American Futures (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Porter, J. (2022, April). Alan Graham Memorial Lecture: Wildness and Indigenous American Futures. Presented at Irish Association of American Studies Annual Conference 2022: America Gone Wild, Dublin City University

“In wildness is the preservation of the world” said Henry David Thoreau, but was he right? Does the idea of the wild instead enshrine outdated thinking that works to prevent the West from addressing the wicked problems of a warming world? Is wildness...
