Here is a link to an online seminar held on October 15th by the Nulungu Research Institute at the University of Notre Dame, Australia, which is titled: From the Arctic to Australia: Four Perspectives on Forest Sentience. Presentations which were 10-minutes each were given by Francis Joy, John Ryan, Åsa Andersson and Janne Sirniö.

Arctic Anthropology 
Comparing Arctic and Australian spirituality is a great way of building bridges and “de-provincialising” Arctic research. Often we are intellectually stuck in our own geographical field, because we are so involved with the people with whom we work there. This is very important, but it must not prevent us from sending out messages from our research to the rest of the planet. It seems this Arctic and Australian connection that Francis is cultivating here is a great avenue of doing this. Congratulations!
Thanks Florian.
It was very interesting to note the many parallel issues concerning mining and loss of forests and biocultural diversity. We hope there will be further cooperation!
