In this episode of the UIndy Potluck Podcast, where we host conversations about the arts, ENGLISH 479 students Caroline Wood and Abby Bailey interview the 2021 Whirling Prize prose winner. Etchings Press, a student-run publisher at University of Indianapolis, awards The Whirling Prize each fall to two books that demonstrate an excellent and compelling response to a theme selected by students. The 2021 theme was Nature, and in this podcast, the student judges have a conversation with journalist Richard Louv, author of the winning book, Our Wild Calling. Special thanks to Music Technology majors Jesse Wallace and Abby Fain for editing this episode’s audio.
Richard Louv is a journalist and author of ten books, including Our Wild Calling: How Connecting With Animals Can Transform Our Lives - And Save Theirs and Last Child in the Woods. His books have been translated and published in 24 countries, and helped launch an international movement to connect children, families and communities to nature. He is co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Children & Nature Network, an organization helping build the movement. As a journalist and commentator, Louv has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Times of London, Orion, Outside and other newspapers and magazines. Richard Louv speaks internationally on nature-deficit disorder, a concept he first introduced in Last Child in the Woods; on the importance of children’s and adults’ exposure to nature for their health, and on the need for environmental protection and preservation for greater access to nature and the health of the Earth.
