Join us for an engaging conversation between writers on walking the urban landscape and climate.

This December 8th, writer, walker, and longtime friend of CALL Garnette Cadogan will be in conversation with the ever-insightful Elizabeth Kolbert, in an online program moderated by sociologist Eric Klinenberg.

Our CALL/Conversation series brings together inspiring luminaries from the arts and sciences to reflect on the environmental issues that mean so much to our work while raising support or our mission. This month’s program will be held virtually.
