Dispatches from the Field, a new digital program designed to bring The Explorers Club community closer—wherever you are.
Each session kicks off with a 10-minute talk from a Featured Speaker, streamed live to the public on explorers.org and our YouTube channel.
This will be followed by Campfire sessions—intimate, Members-Only breakout groups where you can connect, share ideas, and build relationships.
This edition features Kim Frank FN’18, to present Into the Unknown: The Art of Expedition Storytelling:
Exploration is about venturing into unknown and sharing what you’ve learned. The most compelling stories from the field bring together diverse cultures, scientific discoveries, and and personal journeys, resonating with a broader audience. Drawing from my experiences documenting the human-elephant conflict in India, I’ll share how expedition storytelling can inspire action and deepen our connection with each other and the natural world.
