Demuth is an Assistant Professor of History and Environment and Society at Brown University. She specializes in the lands and seas of the Russian and North American Arctic. Her prize-winning first book, Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait (W.W. Norton), was named a Nature Top Ten Book of 2019 and Best Book of 2019 by NPR, Barnes and Noble, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal among others. From the archive to the dog sled, she is interested in how the histories of people, ideas, places, and other-than-human species intersect. Her writing on these subjects has appeared in publications from The American Historical Review to The New Yorker.

Demuth's talk is hosted by the Spring Creek Project and Environmental Arts and Humanities Initiative at Oregon State University as part of the series "Pandemic as Portal: Creating a Just Future on Earth." It is co-sponsored by the Corvallis Public Library and Grass Roots Books & Music.
