National Geographic Explorer Ronan Donovan will be speaking on May 13 at the Harvard Westlake School in Studio City, California as part of our Student Speaker Series, produced in collaboration with Changemaker Talent.

His talk, titled, "The Nature of Kinship", uses visual storytelling to illuminate stories related to our fellow social mammals, reminding us that we are all connected. Ronan embeds for months at a time, year after year, with wild families of wolves, chimpanzees, and mountain gorillas to capture imagery that highlights our shared challenges, behaviors, and family bonds.
