This panel discussion hosted by our programme partner the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, Center for Culture, History, and Environment, and Division of the Arts at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, will bring together perspectives from the arts, humanities, and science to consider ice both as an object and as a metaphor for our planet’s uncertain and fragile future.

The panel:

Jen Rose Smith, dAXunhyuu (Eyak, Alaska Native) geographer and Assistant Professor of Geography and American Indian Studies, Dept. of Geography, UW-Madison.

Carrie Hanson, choreographer, director, and performer. Founding Artistic Director, The Seldoms; UW-Madison Interdisciplinary Artist-in-Residence (Fall 2019)

Stephen Hilyard, artist and Professor of Digital Arts, Dept of Art, UW-Madison

Chair: Paul Robbins, Dean, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, UW-Madison
