"The Environmental Humanities in an Age of Rising Seas" Lecture

Friday, April 4, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
CSU 204

Christine Marran, University of Minnesota professor, specializes in the fields of environmental humanities, critical theory, and gender studies. As professor of Japanese Literature and Cultural Studies in the Department of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies and Co-Convener of the Environmental Humanities Initiative at the University of Minnesota, Marran's work addresses how those in area studies can more deliberately contend with the more-than-human world in this age of rising seas. In her analysis of animal and plant life, archipelagoes and climate in narrative and moving images, Marran offers strategies for reading and interpreting more-than-human elements in the work of activist-writers and filmmakers. 

Join the Department of English on Friday, April 4th at 12pm in CSU room 204 to hear from Professor Marran.

This event is free and open to the public.
