Erica's Arctic Circle Residency

Dear friends, family, and community,

I’m excited to share that I’ve been invited to join a two week expedition alongside other writers and artists, scientists, and educators with The Arctic Circle in October 2024.

Learn more about The Arctic Circle organization here.

My goals are to use this time to broaden my understanding of histories of extraction, conservation, and tourism in the global North, and to continue to explore themes of mobility and climate. I’m hoping to emerge with new work and new connections, and to bring back what I learn to Alaska.

The Northern Alaska Environmental Center has offered generous support, and that partnership will allow me to share some of what comes of this trip through their event programming in 2025.

In addition, I’m seeking individual donations from my community to cover costs. The next payment is due in November. Any amount helps, and your support for my writing is such a treasured gift.

Any additional funds raised will be used to cover airfare costs and incidentals; I will update this page when the initial goal is met.

If you’ve arrived at this page unfamiliar with my writing, you can visit my websitefor links to published work.

With gratitude,

Erica
