HMEI Faculty Seminar: “Monster. A Fugue in Fire and Ice”
Princeton professor Anne McClintock will use creative nonfiction and her own photographs to ask how visualizing the global crises of our time can lead to more creative strategies for change.
Anne McClintock, the A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies, will engage three of the great crises of our time — climate catastrophe (especially melting ice and rising oceans), global militarization, and mass displacement. Through creative nonfiction and her own photographs, McClintock will explore the question of how we can make scientific data and the planetary upheavals of the Anthropocene more publicly visible and tangible to facilitate more creative strategies for change.
Photographer Jeff Whetstone, professor of visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts, will lead a discussion and Q&A after the main presentation. McClintock is the third speaker in the Fall 2020 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series, which is open to the public. This event will be held online via Zoom webinar — register here to receive a webinar link.
