CRCLecture - Boyce Upholt

We are excited to invite you to an insightful evening with Boyce Upholt, an acclaimed journalist, essayist, and “nature critic” based in New Orleans. Boyce's work delves into the intricate relationship between humans and the natural world, particularly in the U.S. South. His thought-provoking stories have graced the pages of The Atlantic, National Geographic, Oxford American, and Virginia Quarterly Review. Notably, he received the prestigious 2019 James Beard Award for investigative journalism.

Boyce's latest book, The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi, offers a compelling exploration of one of America's most iconic rivers. He is also the founder of Southlands, a newsletter and field guide dedicated to Southern nature.
