Word Literary Festival 2024: An Evening with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Dr. Charlie Rolsky

Saturday, October 26, 2024

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do while facing an existential crisis is to imagine life on the other side. Marine biologist, policy advisor, and writer Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is co-founder of Urban Ocean Lab, a think tank for the future of coastal cities, and co-creator of the podcast “How to Save a Planet.” Her new book, What if We Get It Right?, asks: What would the future look like if we forged ahead with all the solutions to actually address the climate crisis? Her answer is a collection of provocative and joyous maps to an inspiring landscape of possible climate futures. Dr. Johnson will be in conversation with Dr. Charlie Rolsky, executive director of the Shaw Institute in Blue Hill.
