What does it mean to be beholden to a dying world?
In her talk on March 28 at 7 p.m. in Alumni Hall of Highsmith Student Union, Shannon Gayk, Ph.D. will explore how premodern accounts of biblical flood and fire probe the ethics of seeing ecological catastrophe and responding to the suffering it generates.
Gayk is an associate professor of English and director of Creative Ecologies for Just Futures at University of Indiana-Bloomington.
This lecture, part of the English Department’s Critical Perspectives series, is free and open to the public.
