Antarctic Adventures with Elizabeth Lewis Williams
Thursday 29th June, 7pm. St George Tombland. Free and followed by drinks and snacks.
To celebrate our status as a Silver award Eco Church, poet Elizabeth Lewis Williams visits St George Tombland.
Elizabeth’s work explores the beauty and fragility of Antarctic landscapes, the devotional aspects of scientific research, and the urgent need for action to protect vulnerable global landscapes.
Elizabeth Lewis Williams is a Norwich-based poet and writer. She has been involved in two NERC-funded projects about climate science and climate narratives. Her interests centre around Antarctica, its literature, history, and science; the literature of place; remote sensing and the imagination and the ways in which arts/science collaborations can engage wider audiences in climate science. She’ll be speaking about the history of climate science in the Antarctic over the last 70 years, and the ways in which literature can offer more environmentally conscious alternatives to global travel.
The talk will be followed by refreshments, probably enjoying a gorgeous June evening under the lovely trees in our garden.
