About the Speaker

Kent Palmer has worked as a fisheries biologist, commercial hunter and fisher, skier and many other odd jobs and has recently moved to a small 'farm' in South Canterbury. He was raised in the Michigan northwoods and kept migrating west. His PhD in environmental ethics was reluctantly granted from the University of Otago. After almost 20 years of 'globalization', he just smiles a lot.
