Panel participants from a range of fields, including art history, environmental studies, engineering, and public health, gather to discuss how visual representations of environmental contamination function to encourage contemplation of the viewers’ position within a polluted world as well as the tensions that arise from such representations. Speakers include Ila Sheren, associate professor of Art History & Archaeology in Arts & Sciences and associate director for the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Equity; Suzanne Loui, lecturer in Environmental Studies in Arts & Sciences; and Jay Turner, head of the Division of Engineering Education, Vice Dean for Education, and James McKelvey Professor of Engineering Education.
Ecology Now! is a semester long series that invites us to consider our rapidly changing environment through the lenses of visual art, religion, public health, and cultural studies. All are welcome!
