On this episode of All About Nashville listen to a conversation with author,
journalist, professor and agent for change Amanda Little. We discuss her
new book "Fate of Food, What We’ll Eat in a Bigger, Hotter, Smarter
World", her latest initiative "Kidizenship", her recent
interview with John Kerry the day he was sworn into the newly formed
position of Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, & her journey
over the years towards inspiring a healthier, more livable community as
our climate changes.
Amanda is a journalist writing about the environment and innovation. She
is a professor of investigative journalism and science writing at
Vanderbilt University, and has a particular fondness for far-flung and
hard-to-stomach reporting that takes her to ultra-deep
oil rigs, down manholes, into sewage plants, and inside monsoon clouds.
Amanda is also a contributing opinion writer for Bloomberg and has
published her reporting and commentary in the New York Times Magazine,
Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Wired, New York Magazine, The Washington
Post,
NewYorker.com and elsewhere. A former columnist for Outside magazine
and Grist, she is a recipient of the Nautilus Book Award, the Rachel
Carson Environment Book Award from the Society for Environmental
Journalists (2nd place), and the Jane Bagley Lehman
Award for excellence in environmental journalism.
