SUMMARY:History Symposium: Dr. Margaret Pearce
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Margaret Pearce will give a lecture titled “Imagination\, Identity\, and the Cartography of History: Three Maps of Canada.” \n \nDr. Margaret W. Pearce is a former Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Kansas. Pearce was part of the team that recently published a Native place name map “Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names in Canada.” \nAbstract: \n“In this talk\, I introduce cartography as a form of language and demonstrate how I’ve worked with that language to explore and express Canadian history. I present three maps: the route of a North West Company clerk in 1797\, the travels of Samuel de Champlain between 1603 and 1616\, and a map of Indigenous place names. Working with a focus on the relationship between cartographer and reader\, each map engages with the themes of imagination and identity in the search for a design solution. Each map arrives at a different answer to the question\, what is history?” \nPart of the History Symposium and organized by the History Department.

SUMMARY:Friendship as Reflective Environmental Practice
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Bryan Bannon\, Associate Professor and Director of Environmental Studies\, Merrimack College. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Friendship as Reflective Environmental Practice.” This is the second in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: In this presentation\, Bannon argues for a specific hermeneutic framework for understanding the human relationship to nature\, friendship. Many current discussions of the human-nature relationship focus on the question of anthropocentrism\, taking for granted that nature is a “moral patient.” Following an argument by Val Plumwood\, Bannon\, however\, contends that if nature is understood as an active agency\, we are able to begin conceptualizing what the contours of a friendship with nature would be like. After describing such contours\, Bannon also considers how modeling our relationship on friendship could help to extricate environmentalism from its position as a discourse of sacrifice and situate it as an alternative conception of the good life.

SUMMARY:Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Russell Duvernoy\, Instructor of Philosophy at Seattle University. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity.” This is the first in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: Beginning from present ecological turbulence and dire climate change predictions\, and\nfollowing Pope Francis’s call for “ecological conversion\,” Duvernoy will explore conceptual changes\nnecessary for actualizing such conversions. He argues that viable ecological conversion requires\nfurther investigation into metaphysical questions inherent in thinking ecologically and he will outline\nthree risks that a cogent conception of conversion must avoid. Duvernoy will then draw on the work\nof Guattari\, Stengers\, Deleuze\, and Whitehead to show that a process metaphysically inflected\nconception of subjectivity is a more efficacious framework for ecological conversion\, focusing on\nhow it encourages habits of attention productive of greater awareness of ecological complexity.
