Blair Braverman: Author, Adventurer, Influencer…and Jewish Dogsledder!

Come hear Blair Braverman, one of the most remarkable young women you will ever meet. Braverman has completed some of the toughest sled dog races in the world, including the grueling Iditarod. She is a columnist and contributing editor for Outside magazine and a contributor to The New York Times, This American Life, Vogue, and many other outlets.

Braverman’s canine-focused social media feeds have generated a huge following, as have her honest accounts of her marriage to a trans man and her life as the only Jewish woman in places like Norway and northern Wisconsin, where she lives with her husband, Quince Mountain, and their team of sled dogs (who she says are also Jewish).

Braverman combines stories from the trail with lessons that her sled dogs have taught her about teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and resilience (plus—of course—adorable dog pictures).

David Gibson, director of the Center on Religion and Culture, will moderate a conversation with Blair Braverman and she will be signing copies of her books.
