Member Profile
I'm a professional musician, teacher, and environmental educator, and I am currently a Fellow for the EE Capacity Community Climate Change Fellowship. I lead the environmental sound/improvised music ensemble Earthsound, and have also worked as a teacher of Environmental Science for public high school students through the Urban Scholars Program at UMass Boston. I am working on the Climate Stories Project, a forum and interactive archive about people's stories of climate change from around the world. I am developing a web site onto which people can upload recorded audio about impacts of climate change on their lives. For example, the stories could include Pacific Islanders talking about seawater encroaching on their farmland, Nepalese observing shrinking mountain glaciers, or Americans affected by drought or shifting seasonal changes. My focus is on giving a voice to the many human impacts of climate change, which are increasing daily. As a musician, I am using the recorded audio stories as a basis for composed and improvised music. I believe that this artistic and first-hand approach to understanding climate change is an essential piece in the climate change movement.
