Tyson Research Center, Center for Humanities
Explore the complex history of the land on which Tyson Research Center sits, and the humans who have made use of its terrain and ecological features over thousands of years.
Join this roundtable discussion featuring a team of researchers, including archivists, historians, and undergraduate students, studying the history of this site through Indigenous presence, extractive practices, and military occupation.
Discussion will reveal how the Tyson’s history expands understanding of the interrelation between landscape and human in the St. Louis region, as well as explore why field stations need rigorous, historical understanding of their sites.
This event is open to the entire WashU community and the public.
Lunch will be provided, and registration is required.
