UMIH Newsletter - March 6th 2023 - Today, at 2:30 PM (409 Tier building) Reading Eternity Martis's "They said this would be fun"
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Dear friends of the hUManities, Welcome to a new week. Thank you to everyone who came out for Rosaria Moretti's lecture. It was a pleasure hosting many folks and sharing Rosaria's research work. We welcome folks to join us today at 2:30 PM in 409 Tier for the book club meeting in anticipation of Eternity Martis's talk. We look forward to seeing you. The Food Matters Research Cluster Presents: Poetry, Philosophy and Potatoes by Rebecca Earle March 9th, 2023 at 2:30 PM CT. In-person at 307 Tier Building Hosted by Jennifer Dueck (History), this lecture is especially open to students. Rebecca Earle's research work focuses on the cultural history of Spanish America and early modern Europe. She is interested in how ordinary, everyday activities such as eating or dressing shape how we think about the world and how others view us. Her early work was rooted in a very specific part of the world (southern Colombia). Recently, she studies the movement of ideas and practices across larger geographies. Her first book Spain and the Independence of Colombia tried to explain the collapse of Spanish colonialism in early nineteenth-century Colombia. Subsequent work took on ampler periods and broader geographies. We are thrilled to extend this seminar to folks and hope to see you there. The poster coming soon. Poetics and Politics of Extraction Reading Group Wednesday, March 15 from 12-1 PM CT In-person at 409 Tier boardroom Discussing Zoe Todd’s article “Fossil Fuels and Fossil Kin: An Environmental Kin Study of Weaponised Fossil Kin and Alberta’s So-Called ‘Energy Resources Heritage’”<https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.uml.idm.oclc.org/doi/full/10.1111/anti.12897> (available to download through the U of Manitoba libraries).
