Gastvortrag, Jessica J. Lee “Border Crossings in the More-Than-Human World”
Am 17. Juli 2024 war die Autorin und Umwelthistorikerin Jessica J. Lee im Amerikahaus und hielt einen Gastvortrag über Grenzüberschreitungen und Schreiben in der More-than-human World. In ihrem Vortrag reflektierte sie über das Genre des Nature Writing und darüber, wie es zunehmend von migrantischen Stimmen beeinflusst und geprägt wird und so einen Prozess des Bezeugens hervorbringt, der helfen kann, das Anthropozän besser zu verstehen.
Der Vortrag war Teil des BAA-Seminars „Questions of Ecology“, an dem Studierende der Universitäten Erlangen-Nürnberg, München und Augsburg teilgenommen haben. Das Seminar wurde von Isabel Kalous (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg), Nicole Schneider (LMU München) und Ina Batzke (Universität Augsburg) organisiert.
