A few weeks ago, we alerted everyone to the upcoming third installment in the very popular webinar series to celebrate Orion’s anthology Old Growth.
This event will take place online on Tuesday April 26 at 2pm EST. The speakers in conversation will be Alison Hawthorne Deming and Kathleen Dean Moore, with the Forum’s own Mary Evelyn Tucker moderating. The event is free and open to all.
Today, we wanted to take the opportunity to share more about the speakers who will be in conversation:
