Liberal Studies will hold its fifth annual Student Research Colloquium.
Our 2022 keynote presenter is artist and NYU alumna Beatrice Glow, who in service of public history and a more socially and environmentally just future, often co-labors with scholars, scientists and community stakeholders to assemble surviving fragments and question colonialist histories. Her ongoing research into the social histories of plants provides vignettes into the entangled realities of dispossession, enslavement, migrations and extractive economies. In this artist talk, she will delve into the creative process behind various experiential technology collaborations and multisensory and multimedia projects that weave together a global narrative of shared cultural heritages and environmental realities.
