A chance to practice on Twitter and meet a fantastic journalist


Environmental journalist extraordinaire Mark Dowie is going to speak tonight at 7 pm in DAH316. He's going to talk about the toll conservation efforts sometimes take on indigenous communities internationally. I am going to try and cover his talk via Twitter, so get yourselves set up by tonight and you can watch me stumble through the very thing I will be asking you to do next Monday.

I highly recommend coming to see Dowie yourself (and join me in Twittering if you dare.) He is a renowned investigative journalist whose books include, Losing Ground: American Environmentalism at the Close of the 20th Century, and Conservation Refugess: The 100-year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples. (This photo is one of his and illustrates in part tonight's subject.)
