The November Island Studies Lecture will be Tuesday, November 15, at 7 pm in the SDU Main Building Faculty Lounge on the UPEI campus, featuring Dr. Jean Mitchell of UPEI’s Sociology/Anthropology Department sharing “Stories of Weathering Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu.” With winds of up to 300 kph, Cyclone Pam was the largest cyclone to make landfall in the South Pacific islands since recordkeeping started. It struck the island of Vanuatu on March 13, 2015, leaving in its wake enormous losses of infrastructure, housing, animals, and food gardens. But why did so few islanders die during the cyclone and its aftermath? Join Dr. Mitchell as she presents powerful insights into how to survive a cyclone.  Admission is free and everyone is welcome to attend. For more info, contact Laurie at brinklow@upei.ca.
