Marcia Bjornerud (geology) and Austin Segrest (English) will be reading from their new books, Turning to Stone and Groom, respectively.
Their new memoirs will take readers on journeys through their respective fields, geology and poetry. An animate earth, a survival—Marcia Bjornerud’s Turning to Stone and Austin Segrest’s Groom articulate the emergence of new understandings of the relationships and environments that shape us.
Mark your calendars and join us for low-key, 20-minute lunchtime tours of the current art exhibitions in the galleries. Relax and learn something new. Each tour is unique!
The Galleries are open during academic year exhibitions:

You may have heard about the $500,000 Mellon grant recently awarded to support collaboration between LU colleagues and the College of the Menominee Nation. This event will give us a chance to learn more about the work and the thinking that led to the grant. It should also give us a chance to talk about one of the main concerns of the grant: issues of environmental justice and sustainability.
Presenters will include Greg Hitch (Environmental Studies), Claire Kervin (English), and Sigma Colon (Environmental Studies and Ethnic Studies). All are welcome, so please join us!
