Join us for a yearlong series of virtual and in-person lectures in which historians, literary scholars, musicians, and writers explore the environmental humanities and their potential to help us interpret the pressing environmental questions of the day.

Brown Bag Series

Held monthly during the academic year, the series provides a forum for faculty and graduate students to share their research, teaching, and digital humanities projects.
