About this event
Join Dr. Stacy Alaimo as she traces abyssal life through science, art, literature and popular culture from the 1930s to today, exploring tensions between colonial visions and Black, Indigenous, feminist and queer perspectives. At a moment of accelerating discovery and destruction, she asks what it might take to foster greater care for life in the abyss.
