Save the Date! Join the SMFA, VMS, the English Department and others for the 🌸🌲 Tufts Environmental Humanities Symposium🌲 🌸 in Curtis Hall (Multipurpose Room) on September 21st and 22nd.

Listen to scholars, researchers, poets, artists, scientists, and practitioners who engage with the Environmental Humanities within their different disciplines. Don't miss a dedicated session that zooms in on the ecological, cultural, and historical implications of lawns on the Tufts campus and beyond. This event also features a closing art performance by Indigenous artist Erin Genia. 

Climate change is not merely a problem of inadequate technology or a lack of political governance. It will also require profound transformations to human cultures and mindsets. The Environmental Humanities help us see how we are all implicated in planetary transformations, and expand our horizons of human possibility and futures.

The symposium is made possible by: the Green Fund, the Office of the Provost, the Toupin-Bolwell Fund, the Center for the Humanities at Tufts, the Environmental Studies Program, The English Department, the Visual and Material Studies Department at SMFA. and the Anthropology Department.
