Dean's Lecture Series: Anti-Colonial Methods of Reading Eighteenth-Century Natural History
Wednesday, April 10, 2024
2:00 PM-3:00 PM
Join us for the fourth in the Dean's Lecture Series when
Elizabeth
Polcha, PhD
,
presents “Anti-Colonial Methods of Reading Eighteenth-century
Natural History” on April 10. Dr. Polcha is an assistant professor of English
and Digital Humanities at Drexel University whose research examines race,
gender, and sexuality in print and visual culture from the eighteenth-century
Atlantic World. Her book project, Venus in Transit: Gendered Violence
and the Production of Natural History, argues that natural history became a
discipline in the eighteenth century through a culture of sexual exploitation.
The Dean's Lecture Series introduces research and scholarship by new
faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences to our larger Drexel
community.
