Please join the Lehigh community in celebrating Earth Month 2024!
Lehigh celebrates Earth Month by hosting a month of educational and engaging events. Earth Month is an opportunity to celebrate the beauty and bounty of our planet, while also embracing our responsibility to curb our environmental impact to protect the earth for future generations.

Over 20 sustainability-related clubs, programs and initiatives will be showcased and it is heartwarming that our community will gather once again in celebration of Earth Day and Lehigh's commitment to becoming a model sustainable campus.

Bridging diverse ways of knowing to studies of infrastructure in Arctic regions: lessons from Siberia.
In this presentation, I will discuss results from several research projects focused on studies of infrastructure in remote communities of Siberia. Each of the projects involved community engagement and collaboration between natural and social scientists and artists. I will discuss my positionality as a human geographer, conducting interviews and observations, and as an Indigenous scholar born and raised in a small village in SIberia. How I collaborated with remote sensing experts, landscape scientists, artists and communities for studies of specific issues relevant for communities.
