Eco-Fiction Author Visits IWAU From a Similarly Climate Affected Location, Edmonton

The annual IWAU series of events brings Edmontonian scientist, environmental, consultant and government policy writer turned author, Premee Mohamed, to Prince George with material inspired in-part by events that both our communities experienced: wildfire, ash falling from the sky, displacement, & drought. What interests her in these beyond direct experience, both as a writer and a person affected by climate change at a similar latitude to our own, is recognizing patterns in these events and what causes them.

After working on Alberta government policy Mohamed feels that altering these patterns depends on Provincial and/or Federal participation. In exploring her genre of Eco Fiction, she reminds us that a changing world full of cascading consequences isn’t all-bad.  An emerging topic of research is in the area of positive knock-on effects. The result of a climate-influenced change that spins out unexpected benefits. More can be explored in her fiction, or during the IWAU gathering on UNBC campus November 19th.
