Sarah Dimick Keynote

Sarah Dimick is the author of Unseasonable: Climate Change in Global Literatures and a professor at Northwestern University. She researches how current English-language literatures portray climate change and environmental justice. Her work has focused on how people make sense of climate change as a disruption of routines and our sense of time and the ways that this understanding can help build solidarity for those most at risk from climate change. In her book, she discusses just this by exploring how our knowledge about climate change is formed by literature. Dimick will visit Penn State from Feb. 9-10, for a keynote talk, conversations with Penn State classes and groups, and a reading from her book. Her keynote will be on Tuesday, Feb. 10 from 4-5 p.m. in Kern 112 and is free and open to all. Pre-registration is required for online attendance at our Sarah Dimick online attendance registration page, https://psu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JoeByYB7R9OVC0ExEDLtrw#/registration.
