Wade is one of our planet’s most illuminating visionaries. In our conversation, which was catalyzed by Wade’s recent writings in Rolling Stone (“The Unraveling of America”) and Science (“Why Anthropology Matters”) he explores the decline of our common purpose and shared culture and paths to renewal which draw on both perennial wisdom and anthropological observation.
Wade is a writer, photographer, and filmmaker whose work has taken him from the Amazon to Tibet, Africa to Australia, Polynesia to the Arctic. Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society from 2000 to 2013, he is currently Professor of Anthropology and the BC Leadership Chair in Cultures and Ecosystems at Risk at the University of British Columbia. Wade is the author of 22 books, including One River, The Wayfinders and Into the Silence, and, most recently, Magdalena: River of Dreams.
