Histories of Ordinary Landscapes

Event Details

Date
Friday, May 1, 2026
Time
3:30-4:30 p.m.
Description
"I will use two or three examples to demonstrate the extraordinary complexity of ordinary landscapes and their histories, how they are always transient, how their past history constrains but does not determine current change, and how, like politics and society, they can change little for long periods and then very rapidly. Along the way I may mention things I’m grateful to have learned from family, friends, students and colleagues, before and after finding my way to academia."
