About this Event

On the Swamp is a comprehensive look at the history of colonial exploitation, extractivism, and environmental degradation in eastern North Carolina from the perspective of Indigenous peoples who have lived there since time immemorial. Dr. Traci Brynne Voyles, professor and department head of NC State’s Department of History, will talk with author Ryan Emanuel about his research and his book, and how his work has not only supported efforts to promote environmental justice but has also been transformed by the principles of environmental justice.

Copies of On the Swamp will be available on site for purchase. This program is made possible by the University Honors Program in collaboration with the NC State University Libraries and the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs.

About the author: Dr. Ryan Emanuel is an associate professor of hydrology in Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment and an enrolled member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. He studies the movement and status of water in the environment, and he is also interested in water’s historical and cultural significance to Indigenous peoples.
