PUBLIC LECTURE: Melting Glaciers and Emerging Histories in America�s Far Northwest

Melting glaciers are now revealing material evidence that reinvigorates longstanding oral traditions about human history and environmental change, posing new questions for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary collaborations. In this lecture, Julie Cruikshank, Professor Emerita in the Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia will discuss how recent discoveries and collaborations among Aboriginal peoples and scientists reinvigorate discourses surrounding science and politics, concepts of ‘nature’ and ‘culture,’ and how local knowledge is co-produced in such encounters.

This lecture is free and open to the public, no RSVP required.
