About the Seminar:
This talk interrogates the environmental implications of Europe and Africa’s transatlantic crossings, through the lens of Thoreau’s musings on the former in his essay “Walking.” Broadly, I will argue that these crossings give rise to two radically diverging interfaces with the planet: whiteness’ stand your ground subjectivity and blackness’ ongoing inhabitation of the deep.
Please join us on Thursday, September 19th in Humanities Quadrangle Room 136 from 3-4:30 p.m. in HQ for an ARCHAIA meet and greet.

Exploring the religious life of Richard Wayne Penniman (or Little Richard), the paradigmatic, loud, raucous, flamboyant rock ‘n’ roll preacher-musician, is a significant undertaking for a multitude of reasons. For one, Little Richard’s musical style and gendered performances played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural landscape of the 1950s and beyond, as he invented his own sound while paying homage to the Black church women who raised him in Macon, Georgia, such that he was ultimately able to inspire the likes of Elvis Presley and other white mainstream artists.
