Introducing Environmental Humanities at the University of Kentucky and the Wider Community
The “Introducing Environmental Humanities at the University of Kentucky and the Wider Community” workshop seeks to support the University of Kentucky’s newly established Environmental Humanities Initiative. This workshop is in the form of a Zoom meeting (rather than a Zoom webinar) which will provide a platform for everyone’s input. We have invited speakers from two different environmental humanities programs to speak about their own EH initiative’s origins, challenges, and structures. Dr. Walker, from Colby College’s Environmental Humanities Initiative, as well as Dr. Engelhardt and Anna Hamilton, from the Mellon-funded Coasts, Climates, the Humanities, and the Environment Consortium, will relay their own experiences whilst allowing for discussion across our group. We invite you to come along and share in this exciting and informative project.
Professor Mark Kornbluh will lead a discussion with Professors Tracy Campbell and Anastasia Curwood on the state of American politics after the tumultuous events surrounding the 2020 Election. Our speakers will put the events of the last two-and-a-half months in historical context, and explore the most important issues going forward.
