What else ...

I am going to be in Northern Norway for a year on the Michael C. Rockefeller Fellowship. The goal of my fellowship is to culturally immerse in Norwegian culture that incorporates the natural environment into everyday living as part of understanding how different peoples define meaning in their own lives.
