Like Hannah Montana, every professor has a life outside of their job. We like to think that the professors we take on our trips have extra cool lives outside of teaching — which is why we’re having Eric Junker, esteemed designer by trade and avid outdoorsman by practice, show us what he can’t live without when hitting the trails! Tune in to hear what’s in his pack (we’ll be taking notes) and some stories about his experiences in the outdoors. Plus, we’ll be covering Professor Junker’s recent work in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and the upcoming election (keep an eye out for some of his newest murals around LA)!
