Barry Lopez Talk and Book Signing

April 18, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Art Auditorium

One of the nation's premier environmental authors, Barry Lopez explores the relationship between human cultures—especially those of indigenous peoples—and landscapes, bio-cultural diversity, and urgent questions about the future of a just and sustainable world.

He is the author of such works as Arctic Dreams, for which he received the National Book Award.

His passionate intellect and strong moral voice inspired New York Times critic Sarah Wheeler to write, "next to Lopez and a handful of other writers, struggling to find meaning in a world gone wrong, the rest of us seem like pale shadows."

Lopez is the recipient of the Literature Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, five National Science Foundation Fellowships, and awards from the Guggenheim and Lannan Foundations. His work appears regularly in Harper’s, New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and elsewhere. He has been featured on public television’s Bill Moyers Journal and on National Public Radio.

This event is made possible by the late Dr. Dai Ho Chun through his estate gift, which established the Dai Ho Chun Endowment for Distinguished Lecturers at the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Chun was himself a distinguished and visionary educator. The lecture is also sponsored by the UH-Mānoa College of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature. Additional support is provided by Waikiki Parc, hospitality sponsor of the arts, and Mānoa: A Pacific Journal of International Writing.

Author signing will follow the talk. Books will be available for purchase at the event from the UH Bookstore.
