MacArthur ‘genius’ to deliver UMaine Archaeology Month Lecture
Award-winning archaeologist and MacArthur Fellow Kristina Douglass will deliver the University of Maine Hudson Museum’s Archaeology Month Lecture at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28 in room 100 of the Donald P. Corbett Business Building.
Douglass, associate professor of climate at Columbia University, will present an illustrated public lecture on her research, which explores the dynamic co-evolution of people, land and seascapes. Visit the Hudson Museum website to learn more about this free event.
The event comes less than a month after the MacArthur Foundation announced that Douglass received the MacArthur fellowship, which are often referred to as “genius” grants and recognize people with exceptional creativity and dedication across disciplines.
Douglass is also a 2021 Carnegie Fellow, a Smithsonian Institution research associate and a leading voice in climate-centered archaeology.
