Martin Lee Mueller

Author of Being Salmon, Being Human: Encountering the Wild in Us and Us in the Wild (Chelsea Green)

Martin Lee Mueller, PhD, was born and raised in Germany but has found his place in Norway, home both to deep ecology and to great runs of Atlantic salmon – two passions explored at depth in his writing and teaching. Martin’s groundbreaking book Being Salmon, Being Human: Discovering the Wild in Us and Us in the Wild was met with a storm of praise when it was published at the end of 2017 (http://www.chelseagreen.com/being-salmon-being-human(link is external)). The book has also inspired an acclaimed three-person stage performance, which Martin and his fellow storytellers are now touring in several countries. Currently, Martin divides his time between developing a new Masters of Ecological Education at the Rudolf Steiner University College in Oslo, and creating the Circumpolar Salmon Forum – an organization dedicated to building bridges between the various place-based Atlantic and Pacific salmon cultures of the northern hemisphere.
