Call for Speakers – Unraveling the Anthropocene: Race, Environment, and Pandemic

A 2020-2021 Special Event

This year the Liberal Arts Collective at Penn State will be running a podcast series to feature intellectual, activist, artistic, or community work happening around the contemporary crisis of race, the environment, and the pandemic. We are looking for speakers to have a recorded conversation about the work they are doing to document, alleviate, or understand these crises. Speakers would be volunteering to record a 15-minute long conversation about their work. The podcast will run during the Fall of 2020 and until the early Spring of 2021. Parallel events include a reading group and a closing roundtable. Podcast speakers may be considered for the final roundtable as well.

To participate, send a 250 word description of your project and an updated CV to libarts.co@gmail.com, with “Podcast Speaker” as the subject.

Submissions will be considered throughout the academic year, but those who contact us before October 15th will take priority for Fall episodes.
