In the fall of 2022, the Humanities Center commenced an ambitious three-year exploration of the connection between the human imagination and the diverse array of landscapes in our world. In the first three parts of this series, we focused on the ocean, the desert and the forest. This semester, we investigate the frozen realms — the wintry worlds of icefields, ice plateaus, glaciers and polar landscapes. Aspects of these strange and dreamlike environments will be showcased in our gallery exhibitions, while in a wide-ranging series of panel discussions and presentations, scholars from a diverse array of disciplines will reflect upon the qualities and the evocative appeal of the earth’s icy regions.
