Creating Knowledge in Climate Extremes: An Evening with Hester Blum
Center for the Humanities Presents: Creating Knowledge in Climate Extremes: An Evening with Hester Blum
How has our knowledge of polar regions been challenged by climate extremes? Join PRAx for an evening with environmental humanities professor Hester Blum as she reflects on the production of polar knowledge from the 19th century to today.
Through her experience with polar science as a writer and literary historian, Hester Blum illuminates the creation of knowledge under extreme conditions. She is the Lynne Cooper Harvey Distinguished Professor of English and professor of environmental studies at Washington University in St. Louis.
