The University of Wisconsin-Superior will present “Sustaining Lake Superior” with guest speaker Nancy Langston on Thursday, April 24, at 11 a.m. This event, available both in-person at the Jim Dan Hill Library or streamed via YouTube Live, is free and open to the community.

Langston, a distinguished professor emerita of environmental history at Michigan Technological University, will discuss how communities can sustain Lake Superior in a time of rapid political and environmental change. She will explore how water literacy can foster a sense of place and a renewed commitment to the greatest of the Great Lakes.

Author of five books on environmental history, including two on Lake Superior watersheds, Langston’s work fuses storytelling, visual arts and environmental analysis to grapple with the unsettling contradictions of climate change in the north. She currently focuses on linocut printmaking, local conservation work and research on reindeer conservation.
